into the syrian desert. armenians have long campaigned for the crimes against their people to be recognized internationally as genocide. turkey argues that there was no systematic attempt to wipe out on minions and no such order from the ottoman authorities. but nearly 30 countries have recognized the atrocities as genocide. germany's parliament voted to adopt the internet in 16 that resolution sparked an angry reaction in turkey president to one saying germany should be the last nation on earth to accuse others of genocide. many armenians would consider the diplomatic spats over terminology a distraction from the memory of atrocities of more than a century ago that haunt their nation to this day. well for more let's

bring in the w.c. me some a scandal who joins us now from washington d.c. hello to you sumi so u.s. president joe biden released a statement just a short time ago recognizing the mass killings of armenians as genocide how significant is this statement. this is pretty significant marianna you know for the last few decades u.s. presidents really have avoided using the word genocide out of fear of angering turkey turkey seen here as an important partner a nato ally of course and the last president to use the word genocide was actually ronald reagan reagan in 1981 and since then many a president has promised on the campaign trail to call what happened to armenians in world war one genocide but once it got into the white house they have not followed through and what has happened in recent years is in 2019 congress actually passed a resolution deeming this as genocide and last year president biden on the campaign

trail said he would do the same and now he has done so he has follow through in the white house so clearly president biden here breaking with his predecessors and marianna that is pretty significant now sumi why do you think it was important for president biden as you say to break with his predecessor's and change washington's position on this classification now. well if you ask by the administration officials they will say that they want to make human rights a central piece of their foreign policy platform but they haven't confronted other countries on human rights like saudi arabia for example so why turkey and why now on this issue well you have to understand that there is growing frustration in washington with the turkish president to why the u.s. really was not happy about turkey's decision to purchase russian missile systems that actually triggered sanctions against turkey they also were not happy about turkey's role in libya and also in syria and there's a general sense marianne of the turkey has been backsliding on questions of human

rights and democracy so it seems that these disagreements really bolstered president biden's resolve to take action we have already heard a reaction from the turkish government it says it entirely rejects the u.s. decision to classify this armenian massacre as a genocide what do you think the impact is going to be on ties between the u.s. and turkey moving forward why i just mentioned some of disagreements you know clearly the ties are not of the best point they have been but the by demonstration knew that this would warrant or this would see a heavy reaction a harsh reaction rather from that's why in that statement that was released today president biden wrote we do this not to cast blame but to ensure that what happened is never repeated and actually president biden even called president area one yesterday and in the official white house readout of that call it makes no mention

of the 2 leaders having discussed this announcement today but many reports here say that they did discuss this so clearly president biden was trying to warn the president and the one about this but as i said marianne of the relations between the 2 countries at this point are not at their highest point that they've been seen in the reporting for us from washington thank you so much. let's turn our attention to india now where hospitals are launching desperate appeals for help and the health system crumbles corona virus infection rates in the country continue to break global records the government has given time for a already to the transport of lifesaving oxygen but hospitals are so overwhelmed that many people can't even get inside situation is particularly dire in the capital delhi where oxygen supplies are running out fast. fighting for breath these patients outside a covert 1000 hospital in delhi are among the fortunate ones. the clinic is

overwhelmed and lacks free beds but at least it still has oxygen to administer to the most gravely ill among a steady flow of new arrivals. visitors and right down here is we believe it was too good to go and of all the full control. just off is really going to differ but due to the old girl being awful go home meanwhile on the walking casualty it is different they're deploying to equal treatment to all the division of the next fight is a hike into division 3 and. these scenes are no exception across the country hospitals are full and turning stricken patients away many are critically low on oxygen supplies as india 2nd wave sets global records for new delhi infections social media are flooded with stories of people desperately trying to secure oxygen for loved ones. or night that day out the other but i. know

if you're not a part of what i do to speed up deliveries indian railways has launched an oxygen express service ferrying supplies directly from production plants like a beacon of hope the 1st train arrives in maharashtra one of the hardest hit states where more than 62000 people have lost their lives to the virus carried out inside clinics grieving families play medical stuff while outside crematoriums and cemeteries struggle to accommodate bodies. this graveyard expects to run out of space in a matter of days. i think the 2nd wave is more dangerous and deadly. this time it's not even sparingly on one. at the delhi hospital a group of men heaved their brother out of a rickshaw they tried to get him admitted earlier but were sent home now they

learned it's too late to save him. the father of 5 is dead on arrival since he wasn't admitted to the hospital or taken to its morgue his death is unlikely to be counted in a city swiftly rising official toll. and joining us now from the indian capital is de delhi bureau chief. jaime to us so many heart wrenching stories coming from across india i'd like to ask you what is it like for you personally living in delhi right now amid this relentless 2nd wave. you know to be honest it's not easy denny is the hardest hit city in the country at the moment i have gone weeks who tested positive or had family members friends and neighbors who tested positive last night i lost a cousin who didn't get enough oxygen and he postulate a few honestly to a friend's mother passed away and this is not just my story everybody i know has

had some kind of story of this kind to share and then you keep hearing these stories of hospitals begging for oxygen sending out s. us messages and we saw some of those incidents in your report when you see such desperation people begging and gasping for air it's very difficult to see unmoved. indeed so now i'm into we did at least see that the 1st trains delivering oxygen are arriving is there some hope that conditions could get better soon we'll try missionary in them or the hand a high level meeting today to discuss ways to manage to join supplies that really train was violent real doing that and also to mobilize the indian air force a consignment of oxygen it was airlifted from single and got to india another consignment is due to come to the united arab emirates their old oxygen card or

school oxygen coming by a village from different parts of the country especially eastern india which has a selfless of oxygen and just to give them a way to come fast and reached the destination that they need to and then get 23 oxygen generating. end if tip from germany and get you to ride in jail within the weeks ahead is underway but distribution is still a problem and the industry structure bickering who should get how much and why and people feel less than the last thing we need in the midst of a 2nd wave in india. now only to just briefly what other measures are being taken to stem the tide of infections marine wheat daily is under curfew given similar restrictions in many parts of the country including in mumbai some people have opted for a weekend curfew it will always be accepting of michael containment zones and finally vaccination india is expanding its vaccination program from the 1st to make

everyone over the age of 18 will be allowed to be vaccinated and the who pete disagree that she a transmission i'm rita cimon delhi bureau chief thank you for your reporting and please do stay safe. now navy officials in indonesia say they found items from the submarine that went missing last wednesday crushing hopes of the crew survival the submarine disappeared in this area off the island of bali during training exercises and was initially classified as missing but indonesia's navy says now it is officially declaring it a sunken vessel. several countries had sent warships and aircraft to help with the search. they silent witnesses of the car and then kalus last dive objects recovered from the sea apart fragment. a gray spot oh

even a prayer mat they live be innovation a view to conclude it submarine is lost. with authentic evidence believed to be from the k alright mangala at the moment we have raised the status from supper missing to sub sunk. the vessel had been missing since wednesday neighboring countries in the u.s. sent help including specialized american reconnaissance aircraft. and navy ships fanned out to search the area but it was always advise against time the submarines air supply would have run out on saturday but the navy believes the $53.00 silence on board met their fight even earlier the indications that the vessel sank to depths well below its limits water pressure then chalet crushing its how it remains unclear why the crew lost control over the 40 year old german built sub but with much of innovations flayed obsolete the loss of the current one gala

was an accident waiting to happen. this hour on have another update for you at the top of the hour up next is shift living in a digital age and marrying and stealing from me and the entire news team in berlin thanks for launch. their story their very own personal drama.

to chesterfield remember. and they share private footage with us that is never been seen before. bactrim the stories of people 20 minutes on g.w. . digital art works like this one are selling for big money thanks largely to and if teeth provenance ascribing block chain tech but who profits from the crypto art market and what danger is that's the trying to hide that's our topic unshift today . paintings regularly self a crazy prices but buying a digital works for $69000000.00 us dollars that you could download for free that's

insane and yet that's what this digital kalash sold for by the us artist mike winkleman who goes by the name people he could hardly believe it himself. was going to mellow like yeah. and unfathomable number to be quite honest. i think i would have been surprised to know that kalash is currently the 3rd most expensive work ever auctioned by a living artist and the people jay pick is just the tip of the iceberg the singer crimes auction off digital art works for nearly $6000000.00 in just 20 minutes to get from young cat when for around $600000.00 and the dutch musician don't dabble. sold a digital concert for $1200000.00 that's a lot of money the hype surrounding crypto art has been triggered by an f t it's cryptographic datasets that guarantee authenticity and origin a bit like a signature on a painting curator christine ashton perhaps found things and f.t.'s will change the

art market we have been pretty much waiting for technical standards that digital works of herbs and he needs unique and can be treated easily for the last name on 20 years. digital art used to be hard to sell or trade but no thanks to any t.f. you can only original making the artwork attractive both as a collectible and as investment philip somers has sold online and paid for with cryptocurrency this attracts a totally new type of customer and there are people that are interested in art and creative action and the traditional art market just didn't know before and then be ready to spend money and support. for many artists the sudden spike in the when is primarily brings an important source of income but it also means a new kind of appreciation i think and there was no way to collect that were before

and so at some big budget but it was really influential so they have a huge huge our impact our visual language or oral and so i think it now be our local academic look at them as you know we are as i am super super excited about. entering the art market is also becoming easier because artists can simply turn they were into any tools and sell them on one of the many online platforms. could this help democratize the muck it more mass job to get the more new people and you will see it will come into the market and new geographies so i. and if and no logical standard will. be created and the artists who are all much closer together. and collectively and physical are what it is.

while some see n f t's as the next big thing others on so sure their true art they believe it's a speculation bubble that will eventually burst there aren't only n.f.t. is of art pretty much anything digital can be turned into an n.f.t. from tweets to virtual collectible cards to video game figures but hold on let's start from the top how exactly do an f.p.s. work well they're created and the block chain here's how. the block chain is a chain of data blocks bound to each other using crypto graphic principles before a new block is added say a transaction like a frequent purchase it 1st gets verified by thousands or even millions of computers on the network in the block chain you can generate so called tokens push can represent a particular value whether right to carry out an anonymous transaction in the block chain like a digital coupon you can trade with. there are different types of crypto tokens.

one r. and f t's which stands for non fungible token fungible means exchange of. change making unique or scarce money is fungible whether you have $1.00 us dollar bill or another doesn't matter the value remains the same. we used to think of digital art as somewhat fungible because it can be downloaded and copied theoretically endless number of times but now you can turn it into an n.f.l. team by a process called tokenization and trace additional objects authenticity and uniqueness and if she contains all the data about who created the content how much it was sold for and who the owner is the tokens are saved in the block using a smart contract thanks to impression they're protected from being manipulated. from currently n.f.t. trading mainly happens in the fear and block chain so you need a crypto wallet and the cryptocurrency ether to purchase something but what happens

after you've bought a digital artwork this is an important question since and if he's only safety information about the artwork not the piece itself often all you have is a link to a safe location and we all have this problem right digital data can be lost or deleted which in this case would be a pretty expensive error message and there are other problems we asked experts in berlin about possible risks for buyers. when you buy in and if you don't get the copyrights of the oh look you really do entry on the block to change. the law. and this unique and digitally read so to speak is this if. there is nothing preventing the artist from saying hey i'm creating a 2nd edition of this art work here's the token. token.

but the lawyer doesn't think this is likely to happen despite the current time tests have shown no such inclination. pine on the right they don't have any incentive to destroy the trust of investors in purchases making more tokens for a piece of rock from they had initially said they would. the conditions of sale for not written in the small contracts of the n f t's these can be read online for example on this website the contract can be found on the given a theory of address and anyone can view it. if the artist breaks the contract and thereby devalues the artwork then you could claim for compensation. such a case hasn't occurred yet. a further problem is

how can you know the person offering the n.f.t. art is the one who made the work british tech expert terence eaton warned of this and 2018 he put himself down and the block chain as the creator of the mona lisa registered his work on the art verification platform there is art and nobody noticed anything strange so how can artists protect their rights on line we ask catarina fatter from artists right society in new york when it comes to losing the right. it's a work that's still under copyright leslie. even if you literally can you will be legally penalized in the long run. but how can you be sure that the person who is selling the n.f.t. is the person who made the artwork after all fake identities are a fundamental problem on the internet. of thieves have always tried to fake identities that's why solving the problem of

identification is considered the holy grail of the 21st century. why did you feel the benefits we now have institutions which try to verify your identity of. one example is the sales platform foundation artists can't just register themselves they have to be explicitly invited like for example a russian artist's pussy riot. other platforms are also trying to keep fakes off their marketplace because they harm their the child missing but they don't always succeed. these digital times are pictures by us artist corbin rainbolt reports up for sale by unknown people as an f.t.c. and since then he had to clear copyright stamp to his pictures are not pretty but helpful. yet there are also notable advantages for artists thanks to the block

chain artists can profit from all resales of their work and keep up with who owns their art. and interests they can potentially be able lot a lot more. so the artists in the guards at work and the resale. but the biggest problem with n f t's is the amount of energy they use according to did to con a missed one single transaction on the a theorem block chain has c o 2 in. missions equal to playing around 6000 hours of you tube videos that's like streaming videos nonstop for $250.00 days this catastrophic carbon footprint of f.t.'s is being discussed in the art scene. the turkish artist and scientist memo acton examined how much energy is consumed by crypto and in a tease. his calculations show that every digital transaction involving an n.f.t. whether you're creating bidding on selling or transferring one uses huge amounts of

energy. in the case of the theory i'm blocked chain this is largely due to the proof of workstand it each bit of every transaction gets verified by the block chain. this is why many block train start ups as well as the theory i'm working to improve their huge c o 2 footprints. you will see that other chains will come to the market with. much more efficient energy consumption so this is big. and seems. well learn how to who they are with their logic. until then charity auctions such as carbon drop can help counteract some of the damage. like people made their works available through the oceans and then the c

o 2 emissions were compensated for by a platform similarly to flying the proceeds went to the open foundation which supports innovative and environmentally friendly to chill projects. worth the project but it doesn't solve the problem if you're thinking too bad i would have liked on a quick to art work but not with that kind of environmental impact than here's the tip the website people generator creates pictures like those from the original kalash even people was impressed what do you think are crypt art and the future of the art market or is the whole thing just to try and tell us your thoughts goodbye and see you next time.
