line with such close to prison short of a 7 it cannot be the same month in this sea to have a judge they do not believe that he will be able to deliver an independent opinion in court. but the wind talked about the taking the case away from the course and giving it to the public opinion what do you mean by that what do i meant is that his coming bark to the people just what at least he told today people i teased parties stuffed and he said that people who voted for him and there are people who want him to that it was initially is that people he's coming to because in the fust place he felt that he would go to court and seek justice but now that he has realized that there is no justice in the courts of law he has come back to the very people who voted him to 14 so generally to tell them that if things of note walked the other side is now coming to them perhaps then you know what to do with that and what is the feeling among his supporters. there is

anxiety among some people actually on a political divides the people who support bush the wind practically wants to believe that what book the white house done what his decision is the right thing to do they are following what he has chosen to do in deposit he actually told his supporters that to go and vote and windy vote they leave everything to him they voted aye now the left things to him to decide many awaiting for his decision what if i tells them but but but the wind has made i mean i see so that's no fire and he says he's a man of peace and yes i see some horses to engage in anything to do with the violence but also police as one who got that it's not just us. it is what makes for bobby wine and his people polymer mint logo on right now has a completely different stick just on the hudson he has a go and when he was a member of parliament he had

a chance to tip the issues into parliament but he's the leader of the opposition he's now organizing he's is now holding a completely different position but a greater influence 1 may say so what his going to do now perhaps is to organize more peaceful if you call it a ship within their ranks of the opposition and find a way of managing things the way they look i do moment because without a doubt prison most of it in our challenging courts use likely to go to go forward on this one in 2 parts but will be one next oldest people that is going to do what advice takes to get to jordan with 7 out of the closet. right that's janice mcconnell reporting in kampala thank you james. it is now also the election in israel where the ruling party candidate mohamed has taken a small. in the 2nd round of the country's presidential election the final outcome

in mexico many push home lots of us right now in the uk right now climate change different story. faces wife leslie way from just one week. how much work can really get. we still have time to an ongoing. success. that subscribe for more news like this. hello and a very warm welcome to news from the world about some culture from our studios. and here's what's coming up in the next quarter of an hour. as. we feature the novel. amy i'm by. one of the most widely read and translated german authors of the 20th

century. the british photographer i was the philip wife who shows us the unintended beauty to be found in modern industrial landscapes quite. but we begin in the theater which has been particularly hard hit for almost a year now by this terrible pandemic performances with a live audience are practically non existant but artists are by their very nature creative and completely new worlds are emerging on the internet so how can fish productions be on screen like t.v. shows but still remain. let's have a look at what some theaters here in germany have been doing to keep the cultural flag flying. is this room still a theater space stage or has it mutated into a television studio in the coronavirus era the tejada house you know like other

german stages has had a radical crash course in digital presentation. i have it in the beginning i saw quite a lot of these terrible streams in the 1st few weeks of the 1st lockdown it was really as if the worst was being dusted down just in order to have something to show and then in the final i felt like the 1st theater people were beginning to really understand how this media works and were making more specific production. than i love life now. before we begin. yeah name in the past. when theaters try to conquer the digital space spoken theatre is at a disadvantage choreographers find it easier to make an impact on screen still actress sandra bullock believes the attempt to give drama its own digital form is worthwhile. this will be seen you hopeful it's a bit of

a hope that in the future theatre will perhaps think about this a bit more and there will be a kind of media library for the times when theater attendance is limited for whatever reason. so that you don't just have a camera in the middle of the auditorium during the 2nd press rehearsal but there you really think about how you can make it work with these different means. after playing in both sites book and liked. to see layer has ended up in virtual space. acclaimed production reduces the action to 2 characters it trusts the skills of 2 outstanding performers some of the hula and hence hearts of. students the bill to fund the theory the air have to. rise i think by man bush but i know who did in who by. the desert after you must fight on

this one seater will always fail if it tries to compete with netflix. ways fail if it tries to compete with the fast card highly professionalised film medium which is what a netflix series is in that it is here it is as nice as you know it has to be the opposite raw cropped and that was the great thing to see the atlas faces as they act not as they are in front of the camera when our camera. remember penta see layer was shown exclusively as a live stream the screen. the form of communal experience in the digital space as well. as pale as fodder. yeah yeah there's only spirit for that me. inside. right that's fine but. it was also important to you.

in the end that you see that it is filmed so that you don't pretend we're making a film where the cameras are hidden but that they're visible and you make what we're actually doing here transparent that is making a hybrid of theater and television and streaming and digital or whatever you want to call it. in this seemingly endless winter of our discontent theatre is trying to expand its real space into the virtual even if hopefully in a few months plays can be resumed with an audience performances will change as a result. because we are after all subject to such a large number of influences there's insta stories that are 15 seconds twitter with 340 characters and the countless netflix series and i think theater just can't completely close itself off to the.

theater continues to try to find its place in the digital jungle it will only survive there as long as its audience remembers what theater actually is. and to go to the theater again in our continuing series 100 german must reads a book by one of the great german office of the 20th century has damien is what's called a big. literally an educational novel because it explores the psychological and moral growth of the main character clan sinclair by the way is actually a thinly disguised version of has said himself is david leavitt's in a moral quandary himself. being heard is a nice idea right so why is being bad just so much more fun.

author how man has this book damien deals with the big questions of good and evil right and wrong the main character sinclair grows up in a religious family where everyone does the right thing but he's the black sheep as a child and a teenager sinclair is torn up by guilt guilt over his lies and later his sexual desires he wants to be good but he doesn't believe he can be enter damien another young student with an otherworldly presence and ideas that turn sinclair's moralist christian upbringing upside down. he had said that the god we worship represented only arbitrarily sectioned off half of the world the official permitted world the world of light but we should worship the whole world so either we needed a god who was also the devil or we needed to establish the devil services along

with the church services that honored god when how man has a wrote to me i'm during world war one he was grappling with a crisis of meaning and clearly he wasn't the only one the book had a nerve when it came out in 1919 and became an instant cult classic if you're looking for a quick read that will actually make you think about philosophy spirituality and more ality then damie on as where it's at. now can shoot factories shipyards laboratories all shoes industrial buildings be beautiful british photographer i was just in it looks the world in a different way exploring industrials faces with a special visual language and turning mundane places into something special in his . new photo book unintended beauty shows how pipes conveyor belts cables and

machines can see through his camera lens become i catches a swipe for says himself he likes to elevate the everyday. images reveal an interconnected world of pipes wires and cables there a glimpse inside the industrial universe of parts usually concealed from the public eye this is where british photographer alister philip wiper is in his element he's photographing the inner workings of copenhagen's new armor a buggy heat and power plant. i can never resist. pipes in. the freezer it's wired. 40 year old allister phillip wiper has a very individual idea for industrial spaces it is photos pipes machines and shafts look more like graphic designs or even abstract art he and downs the sterile

factory halls with an artistic purpose and expresses his enthusiasm for them. i'm amazed by the way humans can build. your rock you are just. wow this is crazy the fascination of birth of. rugged kind of. desire to get into the places where all the people get to go. these images are no feel good calendar aren't there to honesty or for that. about 10 years ago why put discovered his affinity for industrial complexes and started photographing them above all he's fascinated by their unintended beauty but his compositions also tell us something about what humans create and how. these robots were built to process frozen pork fat for sausage making. this is a radiometer for atomic particles in

a nuclear research lab. and this is an outer space simulator big enough to accommodate entire space ships. and on this photo is a giant container ship a vessel this size can transport around 850000000 bananas. one of the things that really fascinates me about this is both the graphical elements of the size of the scale the enormity of it but also there's like a story involved about the way that we live how much of it we produce and how much of it needs to be shipped all over the world. in 2004 wipers visited denmark and stayed on he taught himself a target. he doesn't process his photos much on purpose i try to do as little as i can. because i like to work in a simple way it's not because i have any problem with with anything too much but i i'd like to just bring out what is there already rather than trying to kind of add

too much to. viewing his images we soon notice that hardly any people appear and. every now and then i do have a personal picture when i think that it adds something to the picture telling another story but these are scenes they're all about people built by people. so even the absence of people his works tells about people about their needs and their creations for instance this green house is a plantation for medical cannabis. the museum of decorative arts and design in bordeaux france has collected his images in an exhibition i like the idea that people are amazed by the fact that humans are kind of building this stuff. but i also want people to use their imagination about where it could. where it could lead

or what could be happening. mr philip wiper is always on the lookout for new subjects his photographers are high keeps exploring industrial spaces while his images reveal their hidden worlds along with their unintended but subtle beauty. and unintended beauty is the title of his role the unique book more arts and culture stories from around the world on our website at d.-day we don't call it slash culture and on facebook and twitter that's it for now there are.
