7:01 am
a square off in a light saying and byron even without their top scorer to show why they're defending champions. richardson welcome to the show jordan's former crown prince homes have been hussein has said that he is under house arrest this in a videotaped statement that was passed on to the b.b.c. the prince says his communications have been cut and that he was told this was because he took part in meetings where the king was criticized he accuses jordan's leaders of corruption and incompetence and says anybody who criticizes them risks our rest. the country's top general denied homes that have been arrested saying instead that he was asked to hold actions targeting the country's quote security and stability reporter katie stevens is following that story for us to katie please
7:02 am
tell us who is prince humble and where does he fit into the jordanian royal family . prince hamza is the half brother of jordan's king abdullah he was the favorite actually of their father the late king hussein but he was deemed too young and inexperienced to take over a successor so abdullah was chosen instead back in 2004 king abdullah stripped him prince hands of the title of crime prince and gave it to his son instead that was seen as a move to consolidate his power but there's been no real open rivalry between the 2 until now. have his remained a popular figure in jordan and is seen as somebody who's close to ordinary people and he says that's why he's now being targeted and tell us more about this video that he has passed on to the b.b.c. is that right that's correct yes so this is passed on to the b.b.c. via his noir and prince hamza says it was recorded at his home where he's under
7:03 am
house arrest that his communication has been cut off and that he's using satellite internet to send this video but that he believes that will soon also be cut now in the video he says that he's not part of any conspiracy against the king but as you mentioned that he had been arrested because of criticism of the king not directly from prince handle himself but because he's been present in meetings where the king has been criticized and then on social media in relation to those meetings similar criticism has been expressed but this video he actually does directly condemn jordan's rulers he talks of a breakdown in governance corruption incompetence and he describes jordan as a country that's gone from being a regional leader to a place of fear and hopelessness where even small criticism of a small part of government policy can lead to harassment by security services or. arrests where people have really lost their sense of hope for the future he says that he's trying to stay in touch with ordinary people in their concerns and he finishes by saying god willing the situation will improve if we are able to come

together and to make our voice heard so that could be seen as an appeal to people in jordan to speak out against it is this does seem like a cry to help that is going to the international press with these statements but you put this into context for us has this just come out of nowhere or is there some background here well earlier jordan's top general said hamza have been asked to stop activities targeting jordan's security and authorities announced arrests of some former top officials and other people close to the monarchy now the washington post is reporting that hamza was arrested and investigation into a coup plot the army itself says that he's not been arrested so it's all a little bit murky but any sign of internal unrest will be seen as quite concerning by jordan's allies it's seen as a bastion of stability in quite a volatile region and this kind of rift in the world family is really quite unusual the u.s. in particular sees jordan as a key military ally and department of the state department spokesman ed price has

a vow to god to commemorate his goodness in this way when the plane the black death threaten their village with extinction 400 years ago as i type this person spear the passion play lives from the fact that we have a message as many people and that we derive that message from the gospels that we ask ourselves what's important today when the smoke and we focus on particular aspects of the story this was after that that we look for the things that are important for contemporary society of course the death of jesus is central to the passionate like his but we ask why did he die on the cross on his own courts that's what we need to focus on this sort of us why were the people so angry why were the religious leaders against him why did people follow him and what did he want to achieve we have to show all that in our passions like at least as our intention avoiding that cycle.

7:41 am
israel the jewish christian music my quiet must among speak is one of the great passion hymns in the translation obama going on the outside on the set so i think there's a different approach to religion in obama but often outside of the church the church has the same problems here as in the neighboring villages in the. palace i have received a lot. of films don't view that passion play is a specifically catholic event and have been for decades the when to write to christians to call gave one of the main roles to a muslim because something of a stir. is kind of. i can also pray in arabic because we muslims also pray in their vic the. mind of god from my whole family who live as muslims even my relatives in turkey and in the my grandmothers and grandfathers and my cousins are all pleased you know this age they know very

7:43 am
actors familiarize themselves with the new script in small groups playing judas genghis guru tries to persuade jesus to lead a rebellion against the roman occupiers this concentrated work on the script opens up new perspectives. when you suspect that the him i mean if i end up not think of my image of jesus has changed a bit after all the changes to the script were changing the performance a bit and also seeing the roles a bit differently so he's also thought to myself that jesus is really more than jesus he was a person who wanted to teach people how to behave towards each other to love one another even when it's hard. it's violence is no solution there's a divide this can and you have to draw the good out of people's this and not simply hope for the best selves and people have to stand up and do something themselves and the people don't understand that dimension is pushed on if they're stupid. when somebody slaps us in the face we're supposed to tolerate it.
7:44 am
they're. still cool isn't system the act is imagine how they carry it to thinks and feels this involves dealing with religious issues. being to be the case if you do so if you aren't really interested in what we're perched raying here and that includes an interest in religion then you can be part of it in many of the discussions we've had here of course i've noticed that he brings a different perspective a muslim perspective to the last supper and other things he has a genuine interest in the production truck the other week to. you you go to lead them the people will rise and will drive the wretched romans from our land . you do not be afraid of the romans do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul whether the afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body love your enemies. i need
7:45 am
a course in 100 most most of course when you have one of the big roles you have to approach it differently it was possible and i must say i found a completely new understanding through the passion play and by portraying jesus team in order. i think about the themes and jesus message it slightly differently. and i have to say i've developed a new enthusiasm for the themes from the heart i view it as a great gift to be able to think about these issues so intensely and see if the myth of otherwise you can perhaps only do this as a student of theology we have the opportunity to think about them intensely every 10 years and i'm going to set. up and i hope that after the years assistance if i thought of all can't i often
7:46 am
used to think that jesus is arrogant when he says i am the way but i think he means it differently so i am the way to god to show you i'll tell you if you do this with and be like this decision if this is side in which we live would be better and if jesus is often quite pragmatic and straightforward talk matters and he says if somebody is hungry give him something to eat and when somebody is naked give them clothes that's got something for when he's a stranger give them shelter that's very simple. and that's what makes me think of so i jesus is like a compass device he knows what's good and what's bad is of you to mention actually everyone knows intuitively what's good and what's bad the uses for in jesus challenges us to follow that inner voice and say do what's good and don't do what the bad. and that's very simple that's consonant. orientate you on god not on what's better in the world what sort of and what's more just bit of

a stiff this in the way it went to stop. and i think that churches have sometimes forgotten how to bring this message across. they often focus on whether it's right to let divorcees who remarried go to communion and the bishops are suddenly important. but jesus was definitely with the people. by the mention how he broke bread with judas people. nobody's perfect you have to be able to forgive and he shared with somebody maybe did something wrong it's. like well i think jesus wouldn't think about it for a 2nd that i need to get off thinking they've been stuck in my skin than marriages can crash sometimes it happens. but when somebody finds a new partner he shouldn't be excluded off of the he also just lost and done a lot of. tennis because. that you should have.

had. time dilatation you. democracy it's. on it's it was loopy this is my 4th production and i remember when i was 25 and directed the passion play for the 1st time the actor playing jesus had to take a lot from me was i was a young rebel so jesus had to be rebellious too it was very important to me that jesus was rebellious. but one grows older and suddenly in 2010 i thought it's not important to me at all whether he's allowed to pick and suddenly i discovered places in the gospels that said i will not cry out and one will not hear my voice in the streets he wasn't somebody who got ahead through a noise and rebelliousness but resolutely and it's really interesting that you

discover jesus a new every 10 years pics. and if that's what's on for the 2020 production the context only became much more important to me that all the refugees and people on the margins of society are treated. i discovered the social jesus much more strongly and i thought it's crazy that there were similar social issues 2000 years ago that we have i was a stranger and you didn't give me shelter if i was poor and you didn't give me anything to eat in that if you look in that direction you suddenly find that jesus gives very clear answers as to how we treat foreigners and refugees or people on the margins of society we shouldn't treat them as we do it's not what jesus intended. oberammergau out in the group of be sure called even though there haven't been the usual heavy snowfalls this year the passion play theater is the largest building in

become economically dependent on the passion play and this will probably hit lots of people hard. what we've seen very clearly at rehearsals during the past few weeks is that the residents of oberammergau are totally committed to their passion play and everybody sorry it won't take place now you want to come the moment at that moment i felt almost relieved but the actors were also standing around the square other people who i knew were crushed by the decision they take an unpaid vacation or dropped out of university for a term used to. get me for hearst almost every evening for months on end. all of them get the month that it was like a bubble burst a little bit was and i also feel deflated to. be able to talk apple plotzed. off the opposite when they cancelled the play and lots of people were depressed so
