the ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. currently big city street. how can we protect our attempts. we can't be friends. to find deals in environmental series including $3000.00 on t.w. and on. this is the w.'s a shot coming up today called call for next year's beijing winter olympics. rights groups want countries to boycott the games over china's court reprehensible human rights abuses so why isn't any country for it we asked one of those making the point and in japan sexism control the sea and uncertainty around the tokyo summer olympics leaves fans disappointed.

i'm british manager welcome to the news a shock that you could join us with one year to go to the start of the winter olympics in beijing human rights organizations are calling for a diplomatic boycott of the games over china's human rights record 188 rights groups are asking world leaders to take this action on the games to court ensure they are not used to embolden the chinese government's upholding rights abuses and crackdowns on dissent so far though that call has had little impact. beijing is. the aesthetic winners of the 2022 winter olympics for china another chance to showcase itself to the world after the 2008 summit games those prestige venues are now being repurposed in a slew of new winter sport facilities

a skating arena. downhill skiing runs the world's longest bobsled and lose track and a state of the art national ski jumping center despite the pandemic preparations are surging ahead in what the i.o.c. describes as almost a miracle but china's human rights record is casting a shadow over the major event activist groups a calling for a boycott. if china does not stop human rights what is since in tibet and the neighboring region tennis should not be able to cost these 2022 winter olympics. the chinese government has drawn international condemnation for its repression of minorities in particular the mass detention of injuns week is in so-called reeducation camps. and this past year has seen a massive crackdown on political freedoms in hong kong but while the i.o.c. claims to be paying heed to human rights activists say it's only paying lip service

. to the commitments that the chinese government made to the i.o.c. and the and its members of the i.o.c. needs to itself human rights are clearly not worth the paper they were written on. china dismisses calls to boycott beijing 2022 as political gamesmanship to return to the words. any attempt to interfere with and disrupt the normal preparation and holding of the olympics out of political motives is highly irresponsible. feet before they're in this war. meanwhile olympic athletes a lift to walk a fine diplomatic line we haven't been talking about anything i've seen ours like nader situation china usa usually we don't talk that much about. politics will be hard to escape as china counts down the days to its 1st winter

olympics. and insistent on keeping china's human rights record in the spotlight is the world we go to congress and international organization defending the rights of people it's dubbed next year's winter olympics the genocide games tweeting this delegates have always been replete but fasts and the upcoming winter games could be another the 1st olympics to be held in a country accused of committing genocide don't call me its president of the world we go to congress and he's one of those calling for a boycott of the winter olympics a mistake he's welcome now it's been dubbed the genocide games by activists yet your call to boycott them has found virtually no takers amongst countries why do you think that is. well the call actually not at the moment this call it diplomatic by port beijing will begin there

a little bit because the winter games have begun is it get the ball is it jump from the international olympic committee because it will be taking billet in the country committed genocide we can call the 1000000000 winter olympics given that the journal cites olympics you can say because you know is that olympic committee had. a bad experience in history it is that unfortunately just really beaten again up that 82 years ago or this isn't nasty or the bitch 1936 same thing as was is that have been since before that we were today and china's government state is going to the party commits genocide against the we were it is that you have so many if it is over and also some many national media or this is also where it was the clear chinese government. committed genocide this.

and continual all the big rather than is a big it is their own decision yet right now but despite all these are proofs if i can call them them being in the public eye or for quite some time your call for a diplomatic boycott is not receiving enough support and the question remains why do you think that is. well you not as the most of the other fortunately is the most of the country most of them people it's fuel and that even older you know cite and but it is the general type of they think that openly and that the populace be the rest the all are by this it better than people suffered and even chinese people suffered but unfortunately most of the country and the sport meant just the seeking both economic base of it mostly and the chinese and even some country and.

create the good the good like the chinese goldman it intimate spends yes upcountry it so and that even though it is shades to shent but it is a reality it saw so many countries in the know this if you will but because of the risk is that the because the mother like and like most of the men is the sick and the poor a good economics unfortunately right we leave it there with it i mean repent before much for joining us dont can ease our president of the world we go to congress i thank you and while many athletes are treating trying as human rights record as a norbu they have certainly spoken up over the sexism controversy in the upcoming tokyo some olympic games last week tokyo 2020 president former prime minister yoshiro mori said that women talk for too long in meetings mores comments set off a social media frenzy nearly 400 in the big volunteers have resigned and the 83

year old has apologized but the issue hasn't died down. i think that someone that makes comments like they need to be. or they need to have more knowledge on the thing that they're talking about. so i feel like there was a really ignorant statement to make this sort of attitude and so the call this is the one behind the scenes all year is decadence this is going to say well it is not right for him to make such sexist remarks and for everyone to let it go by saying oh well he's a grandpa. now a more i whistle to experience the excitement i felt for japan's last olympics but now i wouldn't be proud to work as a volunteer. now that outrage is the latest in a series of growing problems for ghanaians as of the summer debates the organizing committee insists the games we'll go ahead despite public support and the

continuing pandemic questions also remain over whether spectators might be limited or barred altogether a mix of uncertainties affecting enthusiasm for the games themselves. the tokyo impacts may not karate instructor. tokyo will be the 1st games to include karate in the competition and although he can't compete a condo still wants to participate. more than given then i'd be happy even if there were no spectators to be a torch relay run for an olympics in japan is a once in a lifetime chance. if it's possible i do want to do it. more than that he says for many athletes these games will be their last. call going all in we're going to sign on as i think there are many athletes who

plan to retire after the tokyo games when i think about that i want to see the event take place. for 56 year old you sheiko tanika everything hinges on whether spectators will be allowed in she and her family won tickets for the judo and i hoping to attend to nocca has been in or of the game since she saw her 1st live event in 1998 at the winter olympics in the garner. the hudson out of the going to she's a guess i thought i was struck by how many people there were saying the no i was surprised by how quiet everyone was when the races started then the noise when the races were one was something i remember to this day what it was amazing was i was struck by how different it was when you watch it live on are the one my stuff she doesn't expect tokyo to live up to those memories. there that won't be possible of the tokyo olympics held with no fans. i have no idea what it will be like an animal

gone are they will have to see how it goes. with them in iraq and i know. it's not just boarding fans who are disappointed organizers have recruited some 80000 volunteers for the original dates but the delay now means many are unable to take part might a roomie is one who still intends to join in but she says she'd prefer the games to be postponed another year is possible but the sea are not going to be my opinion it'll be difficult to hold the games in july this year we received only a bit. bossy from the save we have the option of postponing it again i think we should increase the rate they will sheet. understand she says there's just too much at stake. you don't. even make push on and hold it in the kind of situation wherein now where tens of thousands of people are still infected with the virus in so many

countries i think the world will look at us with disdain thinking we're selfish to enjoy it just by ourselves i would feel bad about it either the same day they're not the freedom of the. but with the games having already been delayed once organizers still insist that this summer the show must go on. and the doctor olympics such a deal to get under way on the 23rd of july that's a full day there's more my website. i want to talk to doubles down to open it's a live big bridging is on course preparations for its winter olympics next year over a lack of real snow in the city. after official. we leave you with images of some of those venues we're back tomorrow with.

language courses. any. anyway. w. . hen you hear me now oh yes we don't need you and i last 2 years gentlemen sonce now we bring you an

angle a man called and you've never cards have been surprised yourself with what is possible who is medical really what moves and want. to talk to people along the way maurice and critics might join us for metals lock stock. and. the. little mania is our phenomenon that got started 60 years ago in liverpool. and we'll go back to its birthplace and look at how the fab 4 are still a major influence to this day and also coming up. that the world class studios in bavaria that have been making ornamental stained glass windows for

churches. and if you can't go out to look at some art why not order some is. look at an art delivery service that's right here in germany. welcome to arts and culture well it was 60 years ago today on february 9th 1961 that the beatles gave the 1st of nearly 300 concerts in a cellar in liverpool known as the cavern club it was hardly a glamorous gig and they were paid 5 pounds for the appearance but 60 years later their legacy not only for liverpool but for music itself is enduring. and we'll talk about that influence right after this. this is how things look 60 years ago just before the beatles had their worldwide breakthrough.

to the stage beatle mania still attracts visitors to liverpool at least when there is no pandemic this footage is from the summer of 2018 when we met with kevin mcmanus head of city of music liverpool you know designation. so well not to see here's the whale famous cover which still attracts millions of tourists every year the original cavern club was torn down in 1973 to make way for a subway line this reconstruction was built in 1904 but for liverpool it's no less important than the original one. that. feels even though this time later the people still massively important. last year because it was with over 80000000 to the city its 1000000 pounds in the city over 2000 jobs where but that's just so the beatles industry. lots of fans play here this beatles cover bands will famously the arctic monkeys played. well for in the

style now plays. but of course at the moment no one is playing here like all clubs in britain the cavern club is shuttered due to the pandemic it's not clear when beatles fans will be able to once again enjoy a concert by a fab 4 cover band for now they'll have to mark this important anniversary privately. i. think you could mark that anniversary by dancing around the apartment for instance and scott roxboro joins me once again from vaughn to talk about the beatles legacy high. now 1st off we just heard about the cavern club there in liverpool but there's another spot here in germany that claims to be the birthplace of the beatles isn't there. yet of course humble or having the northern northern

city of germany that is where the river band the red light district the beatles 1st performed under that name the band 1st performed in $1060.00 in the summer of 1960 but it was in liverpool in the cavern club where they were actually discovered by producer brian epstein and it's in liverpool in the cavern club where star 1st joined the band so. melees some claim to being where the beatles started i think we can say that it was liverpool and the cavern that is where the beatles became the beatles so they were now the beatles fans have a lot to look forward to this year as the kiwi filmmaker peter jackson is finishing up a documentary on the fab 4 tell us something about. yeah this documentary is called the beatles get back and it's peter jackson looking at the making of their last studio album let it be he got access to some like 56 hours of completely unseen footage his production on the film was

a bit delayed of course because of coded so he still editing the film but he put out some footage some sort of teaser footage so we can have a look at what he's working with and the footage what's amazing is just the like the looking at how they produced the album and then sort of jostling back and forth and throwing ideas back and forth in the studio and i think this film could be interesting because it could maybe do something to correct the myth that there was a lot of animosity among the beatles at the end of their their life as a band at least from the footage in this film they look like they're having a great time the movie itself is set to come out this summer disney is supposed to bring it out in theaters hopefully and i really really can't wait. on that footage and it does look absolutely incredible stuff we've never seen before so it's interesting because the beatles broke up more than 50 years ago but why are people still so wild about them why are they so important and how would you describe their influence musically. yeah i think the beatles are just tremendously influential

they transformed pop music and are actually still continuing to influence pop music i mean you can look directly at bands that are almost completely directly inspired by them a bit like a way since the britpop group which was almost a is almost a beatles cover band they so closely copied their sound but even their look and their style in the music that they did but you'll see the blues influences the places you wouldn't notice nor would normally expect i mean take a band like on a sort of a hard rock band from the sound you wouldn't expect that that's a lot there's a lot of beatles influence there but kurt cobain the bandleader of nerve on a set he based his songwriting very closely on that of paul and john and for a band the other psychedelic band the flaming lips a little while ago you know they did a very mix of sergeant pepper's album the the baby dolls album so you see the influence of the beatles really continues to this day they basically revolutionized pop music it's amazing because you can almost say they're right up there with

beethoven we could hardly imagine rock'n'roll without them thanks very much scott for those insights and let's hear a little bit more of that revolutionary sound with some more from peter jackson's upcoming beatles documentary entitled get back. something completely different now and if you've ever walked into a famous cathedral and marveled at the stained glass windows open perhaps yellow spare a thought for the work that goes into them stained glass like that has been enhancing the beauty of sacred spaces since the construction of gothic cathedrals back in medieval times and the craft today is of course much more high tech but no less painstaking and music studios stuff on take can attest to that. for

generations the munich studios stuff on take has worked with glass here in munich the studio has been renowned for its stained glass church windows since 887. 9 and designer cut. took over operations in 2015 from a member of the founding fund take family. last year they received global acclaim for 3 windows they made for the chancel of tola abbey in western germany they were designed using motifs by famous german painter god krishna. nirvana we were invited to submit a bed for making new windows for tall i abbey one artist had already been picked the other was described only as an internationally known artist and when we got the commission we found out it was hard that with us the studio is making 31 more

windows for the abbey based on designs by afghan artist max. it takes an average of about one month to make one of the 9 metre told windows each depicts scenes from the bible some of the detailed windows have already been installed churches are the primary source of the munich studios commissions but it's works can also be found in secular settings as well such as this tiling in a munich subway station. cooperation with famous designers promises new business whether it's woven glass for laughs. for a table with a color fade. to 48 outage and that is our broad group of customers or in principle anyone can buy this for their whole lives that we can attract more customers that

way an experimental. product and if it's successful then we'll have a product we can make in series. whether it's a design object or a church window the munich studios good stuff fun to show all the facets of colored glass. well finally with museums closed and people spending a lot more time at home it's certainly not surprising they get sick of staring at their own 4 walls day in and day out but what if you could just order up an artwork to spice things up much as you would call up a pizza delivery service or the art association invoice for germany decided to give that model a try. conserve to send both one the former to costco if you see 2. taking telephone orders at least for auto wolfsburg 1st delivery service for the name is a play on a popular german takeout delivery company used in hoffman as head of the wolfsburg

ought to association he has a passion for helping people get better acquainted with modern art which isn't easy at the moment. school if it isn't as can't come to us at the moment maybe it would be good if we brought the art to them and of course we were inspired by astronomy by restaurants that set up new delivery services in the pandemic and we thought maybe we could do something similar. the delivery service concept has started off well. normally the art sociate only sells a few pieces a year but so far this year they've already sold 12 on the day we visited that already been an order. this work by artist femi has just been sold. into should look there really is a range of different things on offer you know within the visual arts all different styles figurative and abstract but also objects graphic arts photography i think

that's something for everyone. to go feed on this if you divorce to buy. affordable prices ranging from 50 to 500 euros a meant to what people's appetites fought for the arts association office some 200 works to choose from and the delivery service is available to buyers in and around the central german cities of wolfsburg and braunschweig. the boss himself personally brings the freshly part with no delivery fees. broke through that. and often associate members can get special editions by artists at a discounted price it's a way for people to have a little taste of art until germany's museums reopen and they can get their fill or

for fuel. just imagine calling out for a picasso for a little change of scenery well that brings us to the end of this edition of arts and culture so until it's time all the best from wintry brylin.
