6:43 pm
6:44 pm
a special status but the completely normal. 11 teenagers 11 stories hey i'm jewish and so. young german and jewish starts feb 22nd on d w. a legal battle for control of britney spears' career and personal life take center stage as a new documentary shifts the conversation about the pop star and her troubles with her father the tabloids and of course coming up on arts and culture. and israeli filmmaker yeah look re-using confronts her own family secrets in germany. but 1st since me on mars a military coup earlier this month hundreds of thousands of people have been
6:45 pm
protesting for democratic freedoms for the country's artists like the indie band side effects its freedom of expression that's at stake from an darko see remembers the days before democracy when man mars military would only let the band play songs approved by state censors since the army seized back power they have been fighting to keep their voice. we all are shocked. coming you don't believe it was threat. we did not take years. but now you know all of these like georgia is going to. go see is in musician and record producer who lives in yangon he's part of me on mars sub culture scene which is taking a brave stance against the military the protesters are young angry and apparently
6:46 pm
fearless oh we don't want to be seen as we more people have to join the protests we the students the young generation have a future we have to resist so we won't have to live under a military dictatorship. the film yangon calling from 2012 gave an indication of how strongly political neon mars youth culture is. is it shows rebellious young musicians willing to take risks the punk band rebel riot and dark side effect tell of life under dictatorship. when the film was made general tonge well was still at the helm of the largely isolated country but then came democratic reforms and me on maher began opening up in 2012 side effect were able to tour broad for the 1st time ever their gig in a berlin club was their 1st time playing in freedom other concerts in germany as well as france and the united states fallen. back to try i will finish. off. it's all right.
6:47 pm
gosh i wish to make you show that nobody could show it going gosh i just can't. get up just like you refuse to do so. and that's exactly what myanmar's young people don't want to accept recent weeks have shown how political rebellious and creative generations e is they very quickly established symbols of protest such as the 3 finger salute from the hunger games film series and of course they use social media to organize protests and share the results of their protest culture like the song one day by punk band rebel riot a direct challenge to the country's military. and this song got hundreds of thousands of clicks shortly after its release revolution by rapper flow grows it also takes a clear position opposing the junta. in the capital say that israel has not got
6:48 pm
very far both sides don't go produce the song and he's taken the precaution of relocating with his family like so many others he's taking a huge risk by speaking out but he says it's worth it. got to be honest i would rather i live. for years britney spears fans have worried for the pop star's well being now their concern is going mainstream thanks in part to the film framing britney spears the new york times produced documentary examines spears' battle to end her father's court appointed control of her life there and dates back to the singer's public breakdown over a decade ago. britney was so serious and so focused this is a girl that's coming from strange the new york times documentary focuses on the
6:49 pm
legal battle britney spears has been engaged in over her father's conservatorship jamie spears has been in charge of his daughter's business affairs and other areas of her life since 2008 1st thing is britney was able to make the judgment hey i get what's going on i get that i'm not going to be able to resist this conservatorship or avoid this conservatorship that's a pretty sound judgment the 2nd thing was she said i don't want my father to be the conservator but the documentary also looks at the media landscape of the 1990 s. and early 2000 it's proper roxy relentlessly followed spears his every move and perceived misstep and entertainment news outlets eagerly reported and commented on her allegations of drug use mental health struggles and unfitness as a mother ultimately led to the conservatorship.
6:50 pm
britney spears gained international fame in 1999 at the age of just 17 with the single baby one more time. it was the start of a meteoric chart topping career that earned her millions and won her a fiercely loyal fan base that has been very vocal about their support for her especially in the wake of the documentary. yeah the media was disgusted and i think a lot of people owe her a genuine apology you know to ask a young girl if she's a virgin it's just not ok and not something that i would see happening in 2021. you know in the way that they they were massaging the stick to her and everything that they said about her they just always had a negative negative view point on britney no matter what she did she could never you know satisfy the down oh yeah i love britney and you know i've been a fan ever since i was you know boys bring him into the world to me stop you have to be you know independent that's why i'm here so i want her to be independent of
6:51 pm
her to be able to live her life on her own terms the conservatorship has now been divided between spears' his father and a trust company cheney spears says he's only looking out for his daughter's business interests but exact details of the arrangement are not publicly known britney spears's most devoted fans are calling for the conservatorship to be ended completely they're pleased that the new york times documentary has drawn increased attention to their campaign. and my colleague james jackson has more on this story james tell me a little bit about the impact of this documentary has had so far well considering up the moment it's only viewable in the u.s. i don't think it would be an exaggeration to say it's been a global hit because it's started to change the conversation about women in media as well as highlight saying britney struggle to get the conservatorship removed of course a father's control over how finance over her life that's something that the free
6:52 pm
britney movement has highlights it's. it's i was sort of a fringe movement for many years. well that's how it seems beginning begin with a look kind of like. maybe but actually it's a movement of people who are fighting for britney's rights to control her finances under control her own life so what what's new what do we learn from the start are there any revelations that were not out there already. so for people who've been following the story very closely i don't think there's much new in that but what this documentary is done the fact that it's by the new york times is credibility to the fight for brittany's freedom 2 and it's also changed the conversation and made us look back at that era especially on how women were tried with figures like justin timberlake who was of course britney's ex-boyfriend now he's issued an apology because he in the past bragged about that sex life it claims in the documentary that he sort of demonized and he's also said this industry sets up
6:53 pm
men particularly white men to succeed and women to fail some reckoning with the ninety's and early 2000 what does how does britney come across herself in the film so i think one really interesting thing in this film is this tension comes across throughout britney's career between womanhood and go ahead now she's reference that in quite a lot of hits and it kept it's something that keeps on going for. but in the scenes with her of a younger she comes across the son mature and so in charge of her artistic career later on it seems like she's a fully grown woman playing a young girl how voice what really struck me was the voice actually changed quite a lot so when you see how speaking she has quite a deep louisiana quite a normal voice but then later on it sounds like she's kind of doing a bit of a baby voice and i'm wondering is is this conservative ship stopping her development maybe making her maybe aging revotes i don't know but it's great that
6:54 pm
we're having this conversation and that britney's case is being heard in the public james jackson thanks for checking that out for us. this weekend's germany kicks off celebrations marking 1700 years of jewish life in the country and the lead up we've been meeting jewish artists who live here including israeli filmmaker. her video installation at the jewish museum in berlin gives living faces and personalities to a people many germans only know from history lessons. and i'm going to start you know. this. is not. a religion with many faces. vinnie's installation message being gathered presents germany's jewish population as colorful and diverse. very often people have
6:55 pm
a very. strange image of jews here in germany sometimes some people think they're all very smart or all very rich or very. brave any was born and raised new television. was part of her family's history her grandmother's family was almost wiped out in the holocaust 3 of any has lived in berlin for 15 years she's among the 20 to 30000 israelis who have moved to the german capital. something very fascinating about berlin because on one hand it's very. contemporary and on the other hand it's very haunted and you can you know there are really ghosts everywhere where you have any move to germany her parents were horrified for them it was unthinkable to move to the land of the perpetrators but for her it was liberating. somehow being in berlin. opened up something for
6:56 pm
me and suddenly i realized that with this you know this trauma i can deal much better i'm able to deal with it. she dealt with that trauma in part by exploring the previously unknown and taboo subject of her family's history in her 1st film she follows the trail of a great uncle who was thought dead that great uncle never returned after being deported to both invited concentration camp through her research the filmmaker discovered he had actually started a new life in east germany with a german woman and a german name. it became much easier for me to think about these things when i realize it's not my job to forgive. it with the ghosts of the past put to rest the director's focus has now turned to her birthplace of israel in her latest film of any profiles her own generation of israelis. i'm finally ready to deal with my israeli with or with zionism which is in
6:57 pm
6:58 pm
to the point of strong opinions clear positions international perspective such as. can anybody still china's surge to global dominance that's perhaps the biggest foreign policy challenge facing u.s. president joe biden so how would he respond there would be communication open confrontation find out onto the point should point to the point shut. down the minutes on d w. 1700 years of jewish life in germany our series this week on arts and culture we journey from berlin to munich to meet cultural leaders commemorating the past taking creative risks and building community 700 years of jewish life in germany. this week on the culture of d.w. . every day
6:59 pm
counts for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. come to me makes it a screamer. how can we protect habitats. we can't get to france. good morning to you as the environmental series of little small towns and on t w dawn. i was here when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hard i was fair. i even got white hair is that. the german language head telling us this keeps me up and they tell me please to entrap let's say you want to their story. since her writing and reliable information for migrants.
7:00 pm
this is g.w. news live from done led to facebook and friends australia without notice the social media heavyweight bans news content from its australian platforms and move says the government as congress plans to make the tech giants pay for journalism also on the program a fresh show off defiance in myanmar as protesters return to the streets to denounce the military true security forces respond with water counted. nasa has its pros appearance row before a daunting descent down to moscow will find out why mission control is i
7:01 pm
dissipating 7 minutes of terror. i'm forgetting all welcome to the program. facebook has blocked news content for its platform in australia its latest twist in a heated dispute with the government considers legislation to force tech companies to pay for the journalism they carry facebook and google have been fighting the proposals which they say don't reflect the way the internet works and facebook's action came just hours after google reached a deal with australian news companies. many australians woke to a surprise this morning facebook had unfriended them suddenly they couldn't access local and international news through the social media site it's a dramatic escalation of a conflict over australian efforts to force tech giants to pay for journalism. i
7:02 pm
think facebook when the news is terrible. i say 43. and i can get all my news in the one spot so believe me. congress said the ban on news had a huge community impact $17000000.00 australians visit facebook every month it's even being called an assault on democracy. facebook was wrong. facebook. sections were unnecessary they're way heavy handed and they will damage it's reputation here in australia frydenberg said facebook gave no warning of the new shutdown. camber wants to table a law that would require online giants to negotiate payment for news outlets content or have fees set for them some experts have their doubts about the law and say it needs to be reevaluated the story is a bit more complicated than just saying that our platforms kind of steal the
7:03 pm
content from news outlets and they benefit from it it's kind of a mucho benefit so then you probably would also need to ask whether. news outlets will need to pay facebook and google. or fool them to their pages google initially also refused to pay for news content and threaten to pull all services from australia then in a surprise move the internet giant struck deals with australian media firms such as channel 9 rupert murdoch's news corp and 7 west media. australian social media users will be hoping that facebook has a similar change of heart. let's get into this with tom lever who's a professor of internet studies at curtin university in perth in western australia is also vice president of the international association of internet research as well considered a w what do you make of facebook's actions. i think face but was trying to make
7:04 pm
a point that if the law goes through and they do have to pay for news that they may and date block use on the services but to do it in advance is one thing but when they deployed the block they didn't just capture traditional news they also catch the whole lot of other things as well including the agency's services including health sites and i think that overreach has made what was happening part of the strategy go terribly terribly wrong because the main thing that people noticed was that it wasn't just the news that was disappearing but things that they relied on every day through that platform including things like activity information and emergency notifications when those. that wanted to kill the country and the other. facebook a commercial company what does it say about it or when a commercial company says yeah i'm going to remove some of my services and we get in such an uproar over it well it is it is certainly true that facebook is
7:05 pm
a commercial platform and has every right to do what it wants with its platform but at the same time there was a reasonable expectation that users will have some idea of what facebook is doing and i think to completely withdraw portion of what facebook does without any prior notification to uses was incredibly abrupt and showed a lack of respect for users of that platform so i think facebook is a commercial but it exists because it has a relationship with uses and for many users in a struggle like they were abusing that relationship today why do you think google went one way and reached a deal where facebook. i think google had a strong sense that they they were going to. there was no way to escape paying something fully continues concha shastra it was there across the country the code was basically ready to go and i think google realized that if they struck some deals
7:06 pm
themselves they would still have a level of control over those deals but it would be more directed to a news showcase product rather than all of goodwill and they they still would have the capacity to put some of their own calls in and not be fully subjected to this code which was incredibly important i think facebook clearly has gone the other direction it does not want to pay and has every right to. from accessing news but of course the value of facebook as a platform for strategy is as with that. portion of the service missing means that facebook is likely to start shutting users pretty quickly good talking to thank you so much for joining us professor professor from curtin university and here. nato secretary general says the alliance has not reached a decision on withdrawing troops from afghanistan following a 2 day virtual summit with alliance defense ministers mr stoltenberg said nato allies would continue to consult closely before any decisions on troop reductions

7:10 pm
spoke to the director of human rights watch he said the international community should sanction myanmar's military controls conglomerates. the real next step is to go after the business is that the military. and that it uses to finance a coup and its repression already there been signs that soldiers are tempted to just switch sides to join the demonstrators against this one for democracy the only way to keep them in line is to keep paying them to keep paying for the machinery of repression that requires income. the protesters say foreign companies operating within myanmar are also part of the problem they demonstrated outside prophecies linked to global oil giants like the towel and petronas calling on them to stop paying revenues until mia mars democratically elected government is reinstated.
