this is deja vu news live from berlin another dramatic day of unrest in russia as activists to 5 police warnings to stay away from protest rallies in siberia supporters of the jailed opposition leader alexei navalny turn out in temperatures of minus 40 degrees hundreds are arrested in cities nationwide including the capital moscow also on the show. hope for hong kong citizens unwilling to live under chinese rule the u.k. opens a new visa scheme offering millions the chance to gain british citizenship london says it has a moral duty to the people of hong kong. and in the bundesliga byron munich get

their revenge against us against a side which crashed them earlier in the season will have all the goals as the variance and often find parking. on pablo foley s welcome to the program we begin in russia where thousands of government opponents have defied police warnings not to join protest rallies they've turned out in cities nationwide in support of me authorities have mounted a massive operation in an attempt to contain the demonstrations campaigners say hundreds of activists have been arrested protest actions have been taking place from siberia in the east to moscow and st petersburg in the west knee was arrested on his return to russia from germany where he spent 5 months recovering from an

attempt to kill him with a nerve agent supporters say his wife yulia is among those just being detained at a gathering in moscow. before the latest from the russian capital we're joined by d.w. correspondent and elise sure one hi emily well what more can you tell us about a novel naiads arrest. was arrested it seems on her way to the prison where the is being held she was cordon in kenya or one of the metros in the central or center of moscow and i think that she's become in a way now that now vine is in prison one of the symbols of this protest especially because there have been has been some talk about her potentially running for office in the upcoming elections as well in september especially if i could say no i mean her husband remains in prison where are the protesters dealing with the increased

security this time around. so i think it's worth telling you just what's going on around me at the moment so essentially what we've been seeing all day is almost kind of a cat and mouse game between the protesters and the authorities from yesterday from a few days ago we knew that the authorities were going to close off a huge chunk of the of the center of moscow. supporters had announced that they would be meeting near the f.s.b. building near the building of the security forces services rather and near the presidential administration that area was promptly closed off then they announced a new meeting place on telegram on the social media channel when people arrived there they were then cleared off and so on metro stations were closed so basically we're seeing again and again a new meeting point being announced by now needs team metro stations around that

being closed police arriving you might be able to see behind me actually soldiers now standing in a row kind of blocking off protesters and arrests have been taking place as well. why am are people still coming out despite the threat of arrest i mean. it is definitely a huge threat and i think people who came out today especially absolutely knew that after the thousands of arrests that we saw at at the protests last week people here at the protest and around the center of moscow where we've been kind of moving around as well with protesters to speak to people they've been saying that this isn't so much about not via me at all yes he was kind of the cattle the catalyst for this that pushed them out onto the street but they say they're basically sick of the corruption in the ruling elite people have been very critical of putin

himself of the president and they say that really living standards here have been dropping and they want a better life in russia and it is sure when in moscow thanks for the update. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world israeli police used water cannon to disperse protesters in jerusalem as thousands gathered to demand the prime minister binyamin netanyahu his resignation over corruption charges netanyahu denies wrongdoing but the protesters say he can't run the country property while under indictment protests taking place every week since the summer. afghan security personnel have been killed in an attack claimed by the taliban militant group a suicide bomber drove a vehicle loaded with explosives into an army base the u.s. claims the taliban are not sticking to commitments agreed to under a peace deal. a world health organization team investigating the origins of covert

19 has visited a market in china where the corona virus was 1st detected the seafood market has been shot for a year and a visit took place under tight security. millions of hong kong residents now have the chance to become british citizens the u.k. is offering a special new visa after china imposed a security law and crackdown on the territory's pro-democracy movement for those eligible to apply it could mean a fast track to you case citizenship hong kong was a british colony until its returned to china in 1970 and the visa only applies to people born in hong kong before the handover china has called the visa a devious offer of gross violation of its sovereignty. let's bring in d.w. correspondent who's in hong kong now how are people in hong kong reacting

to the u.k. visa scheme are many people day are likely to take advantage of it. well many hoho residents on the ground they welcome the rather generous offer by the u.k. government says sol call it a lifeboat scheme for them to leave the toiletry. the political climate on the ground it's was something they buy they for many of the people here and possibly there will be over $5000000.00 a whole residence. for plying for the emigration scheme food at the end the whole passport scheme of the u.k. government that accounts for over 70 percent of the population as well for this game and i though not everyone will take action the u.k. administration has asked that made at that in the next 5 years there will be at least 250000 peoples to do so so are we're talking about a significant number

a significant wave of emigration it's not only about the people leaving but also their capital talents and profession that they will bring with them to leave hong kong maybe permanent say so it's a real issue for beijing in hong kong thought he and it's not only the protesters the activists and the rather sensitive politicians that considering to leave but also many of the ordinary citizens expression a lot of people will have spoken to who are willing to take the offer middle class to educate and the professional investors on the ground they out wanted to do so even at the cost of giving up their high paid professional jobs here but also just to seek more of a more free investments for the next generation and and a place that without political pressure and what about china's reaction see the foreign ministry says it will no longer recognise the british national overseas passport as a travel document can we expect some retaliatory measures against the u.k.

. yes you're right so far beijing has announced that they will stop recognizing the yellow passport starting from today so that this the fast they are the skin. and so from today the hong kong and also beijing authority will no longer allow any home residents to leave the border with passports although they are still allowed to do so with their own hong kong travel documents so many see this as a political and diplomatic chance church to retaliate of britain's offer to hong kong precedence but they also room as on the hour that many politicians and now they're now suggesting that beijing all parties to vote or come to work the civil rights of residents who take that offer expression leave maybe to cancel their actual rice to are banned for voting or run in office or even their rights. to a more extreme extent so many here that this will only be the 1st hour for beijing

to raid the push to push back of your case and beijing is trying to do so to send a message to hong kong residents who would take the offer from the u.k. that they may face consequences or even more serious consequences by doing so. hong kong. germany has tightened border controls for travellers from hotspots of new coronavirus variants including the u.k. portugal brazil and south africa the variance from south africa which is responsible for 9 out of 10 cases there was discovered 6 weeks ago and has already spread to dozens of other countries so many are dead there's hardly room to bury the. numbers speak quite loudly in itself and that is a clear indicator that there's something more serious happening in terms of. the mortality rate we are putting all our hopes on the vaccine. official figures show

around 40000 have died from current virus in the run by nation but the real number is likely to be much higher. than the south african variant of the virus accounts for the huge death toll scientists say it's not deadly but it is extraordinary infectious many hospitals are completely overloaded patients are being treated in tents and only after a long white bed stuff and ventilators are all in short supply oh at the food if they voted before the 2 isn't because this isn't in the good wasn't for you look at it someone must die or adequate personal protection equipment is also lacking among the dead hundreds of doctors and nurses who themselves became infected. let's take a look now at some other developments in the pandemic austria is now taking patients from portugal where intensive care beds are nearly all occupied russia has begun supplying its butt think of

a vaccine to the rebel controlled region of donetsk in eastern ukraine ignoring a ukrainian government ban and israel has agreed to transfer 5000 doses of coronavirus vaccine to the palestinians they have not received any shot since israel launched its national vaccination campaign. to sports now and in the bundesliga bar in munich hosted their jinx opponents hoffenheim the visitors beat the reigning champions 41 earlier in the season this time it was the other way around. by and munich with a case of the pre-game goes little did they know that have plenty more to smile about at the end of the match even though they needed a corner to finally breakdown hoffenheim stiffens not to mention the jumping skills of jerome boyd tang has had a from the back of the net to head by in the lead in the 38th minute a taste of what was to come thomas muna doubled by n.z. 10 minutes later for his 10th goal of the season but not without the help of robert

heading out for an unusual movie adventure lisa in the route will spend 7 days in complete isolation with films as her only company it will be just her on this tiny island no human company no telephone no computer. yes no more phone. you know we're going to say you know we were interested in seeing how isolation effects how we watch films and how this year has changed our relationship to film and we're doing an extreme experiment on the mummies what happens if you isolate a person with film as the only company thank you very. lisa was selected for more than 12000 film fans all eager for an opportunity to get away from it all the i.c.u. nurse works in a hospital with many covert patients and she's ready for a break i feel privileged to be able to do this and to be able to watch all this amazing movies in an isolated scene in my experience is going to be. it's

going to be he's going to great i hope. while many people are stuck at home lisa has landed the only seat in a cinema with an exceptional view. you're watching do you know good news in berlin will be back at the top of the next hour thank you. and you hear me now oh yes we can hear you and how the last 2 years gentlemen saw so that when you bring your uncle our mascot and you've never had to have the full surprise yourself up with what is possible who is magical really what moves them what all some who talk to people who follows her along the way maurice and critics alike join us for metals last august.

amsterdam's rights museum is home to the nightwatch rembrandt's most famous painting. researchers are gathering data that will be fed into an ai machine learning algorithm. how did rembrandt create this extraordinary work. could there be a computer system at the heart of such masterpieces. could there be a cold for what we call art.

the fall time to one pack. in his berlin studio the artist foreman lipski shows us how the dialogue between him and his music began 3 years ago. lipski paints and a computer answers. in a i muse who knows precisely how he works. and it's one. of the best this was the starting point if i wanted to paint there's image i took the motif and painted it 9 times. from the top left to the bottom right. and what i did was did utilize the

images including all the interim phase and. then i sand florian a file of about 50 images of the digital photographs of. them so that he had information on the algorithm or. how the algorithm works based on looks these images the air i system has learned to replicate the artist's style. the system can now turn whatever data it is fed with into a lipski painting. thing that i'm looking at what the individual networks have generated in the video how they alter the original picture or. i'm trying to create an optimal image. and. an image i

can use as the basis for a painting on a campus. this is. basically it's like an ultra modern sketch. there's let's leave that one these it's in the larger basically our music is a type of software. this so-called neural network we use i think very specific architecture a machine learning system is capable of analyzing roman lipski paintings distilling facets from a deconstructing them and then constructing something new and generating hundreds of thousands of variations. to get them. here you can see how the system interpreted this section on the right has a lake so added blue that it. or it's the only image generated that has that feature. so that really fires up rumor inspires him to

take it to the next level and pick up on certain details of. the ai is incredibly fast but roman once said to me that what's exciting is that this is. him to take his time as. never paints exactly with the artificial muse proposes it simply points him in a direction of an idea a spark a stimulus. in the last few years all he has to do when he's seeking inspiration is plug in his computer. the arrival of the artificial muse in his life helped him out of a profound creative crisis. this is only for the. this here is a later work. in

my work used to be representation of i was trapped in a patent pub at some point i started thinking more about abstract painting the. book. but none of my attempts worked out i just wasn't coming up with anything better than me and i ended up with a creative crisis and. i was wracked by dark. unsure if my art was what i should be doing. i'm still alive and i have been plenty of artists who killed themselves as and this is seriously these doubts can be overwhelming when you start to question your very existence. it's not . existence in for. first chord.

why do human beings create art. where does the impulse come from. an impulse strong enough to dispel overwhelming feelings of despair and self-doubt . mozart's requiem is about mortality. shakespeare explores the concepts of love power and jealousy. according to anthropologists the earliest expressions of human creativity date back some 40000 years. modern homo sapiens developed a new kind of self-awareness and began to find ways to project thought and feeling onto the world around them. and i think our artistic and creative works are an attempt to actually sober scientific problem which is the whole problem of consciousness that i can't know what it feels like to be you and you can't know what it feels like to be me but our creativity is somehow our op best way of trying to share that world in our art is

almost the best f. m.r.i. scanner to see what it is like to be another human being. hey siri how can i help you. isn't the sunrise magical sunrise is the moment when the upper limit of the sun appears from the horizon in the morning the turn can also refer to the entire process of the solar disk crossing the horizon. rembrandt was renowned for his ability to portray deep human feelings and challenge the conventions of the self portrait. is it possible to replicate his genius. that's a question explored in a privately financed project called the next rembrandt. here data scientists an artist orient set out to create a rembrandt painting using artificial intelligence. only for team work and we supplied the surface data of rembrandt's work we scanned some of his later works

and were able to provide a dataset of their surface structure. as statens out so if it isn't you can see that was very important in terms of ensuring his brush stroke was convincingly replicated in the new virtual rembrandt dance of jim. de mint is against and. when we trained the algorithm with this dataset we were able to calculate chemical resemblances the machine could then identify places in the body of work where the paint had been similarly mixed in the palette of any commission. computer of wood or stone in beautiful years links in the what we have on the left here is a chemical map of the painting depicting the various palette mixes used in rembrandt's workshop. and then on the right we can see where these colors were used

in the painting for sheen and. imbued. with 2 parts of the face and we started to compare them and based on this we're able to create a typical run round i love henri. after generating the features we were focusing on the face proportions we use an algorithm that can be. over 60 points in a painting we were able to align the faces and estimates the distance between the eyes the nose and the mouth of the. painting is not a tutti picture it's treaty you can see the counters you can see the process and that's what makes the painting come off the high school it was essential to make the painting a painting. we incorporate that the height map into the paint the complaint that on

the tree to print there that uses a special bank base you reaching it printed many layers one on top of the other has resulted in the height and texture of the final painting. surely only rembrandt could create a rembrandt. yet this rembrandt was created by a machine. so what is it. imitation. or is it art. skip to much more to do before people are always asking will artificial intelligence be more intelligent than human intelligence as i always say have you

ever used a pocket calculator even that is way more intelligent than you are so it's nothing new the idea that certain technological systems that simulate intelligence can outperform humans but also for most to conclude from that that a pocket calculator is a being that is aware of what it's doing is irrational i think you'll any snow really see computers being creative and code being creative not not just being a tool for our own creativity. when they have their own internal worlds now that's probably a long way down the lawyer but i don't think it's impossible that a computer will become so complex that it will actually start to feel things and actually have a sense of self. by how they should to failure and then trying a computer as if the throw says i was saying i'm not as rigid as you think.

they are as electronica center and. also known as the museum of the future. artists and its future lab are experimenting with algorithmic composition in an area of research recently revolutionized by a neural network called music. trained with music ranging from beethoven to lady gaga can create compositions without having any understanding of the music. simply by recognizing patterns and predicting the next step in a sequence. here it's creating a composition in the style of mozart with a little bit of chopin thrown in. there

with deep learning models neural networks you don't set any rules. down to the machine learns by itself which data works best and that is that it's fascinating that it doesn't have to think about musical structures such as consonants or dissonance. in the machine learns completely independently and. more than any other artistic form musical composition is governed by rules. but throughout history scientists have wondered does all art in fact follow rules. even art that elicits an emotional response. this is or even the moment in the act is it not to and that music store the national. health island is the that the.

then the the i cannot it. up the touristy froggie all over money these are not there not this in that it would have been the visa that there was each. of these. is there good luck these if i get the matching is there they arise in. september 2900. year at the ars electronica festival. the i'm 20 point no orchestra is performing mahler unfinished a piece of music made by man and machine. the ai system usenet has completed the unfinished movements of christophe monist 10th symphony. as its a next what if you saw figure we could i mean different of us was the mother usually not the thief if you 1st the ai system was for.
