welcome to news glad you could join us the world health organization has classified the coronavirus mutation in india as a variant of concern that has also said that there is some information to suggest that it is easily transmissible that is partly evident in the record numbers of cases the country continues to register a nearly 330000 reported on tuesday alone these numbers have prompted experts to call for a mission why blocked the federal government has so far not relented but several state governments have imposed their own restrictions. i know of that kind of 19 victim brought to an already overcrowded crime atory and the city of bangalore sewing case rights have now spread this city to empower the town. police

in some areas have beating those violating the strict rules and seizing their vehicles. because it is a very very or believe it. will be legal system and break the rules then it is the ball settled. for now bengaluru is markets and stores are closed christian love till there aren't many people here but they don't maintain social distancing after providing some relief to the poor there's nothing wrong with the lockdown. vaccinations are happening slowly in a country desperate to bring infections under control over their borders on the. people who are facing so many problems they're sitting on a powder keg they can easily get infected unless an alternative is found distributing vaccines in more places like community halls or playgrounds.

there's no countrywide policy in place critics say the government has abdicated responsibility by leaving fascinations to individual states that's resulted in a scramble important job province people crowding a vaccination center put themselves and others at risk the police we would know we had to call the police to maintain social distancing but to no avail people are not listening to us at all medical workers have mounted protests against the government's handling of the coronavirus and the indian medical association has called on the government to impose a lockdown across the country. for weeks now states have been competing for scarce resources including oxygen. they've been left to the messy of the market leading to more anger and frustration with the government in delhi.

the sound of blitzer as the latest people band baffling to become the next b.t.s. their debut album is out on wednesday the product of years of auditions and rehearsals to find that magical mix. and the rewards are huge as demonstrated by the international success of boy band. careers cultural exports the so-called korean view has become a multi-billion dollar industry but for young koreans shooting for global capel stardom the journey is a grueling 1. 3 years of intense training distilled into just 3 minutes of music and dancing this will determine whether the blitz is there a hit or just another nowhere to. go there she ploy that around 8 pm

we would start our dance practice and there's no time limit on it we would practice into the early hours of the morning. these boys give it their all it's an endless cycle of singing lessons promotional shoots gym workouts and dance practice their weight is monitored and their sleep in bunk beds in a shared a soul house is limited to around 5 hours a night the empty beds are a mind of those who didn't survive the rigorous testing process. no matter how much time i spend with the other trainees i always found it hard to see them dismissed even though i hadn't done anything wrong i felt a sense of guilt every time i had to say goodbye to my over to. them and. no time for hard feelings though because a lot of money is riding on their debut album the blitzes will put together by

a young soul management agency and it is betting its existence on their success the potential returns a huge but the odds are stacked against them and the k. pop industry is a tough one it's been described as a factory like mass production system but the blitz is believe they've got what it takes to be the next b.t.s. . or in my opinion i think we're good enough to perform like we're always ready. but you know really really you're ready you have to be ready. for this week's album launch will prove if they really are. tomorrow harmon is a k. pop columnist who document of the astonishing global rise of the music genre and she's also the author of bitter years of blood sweat and tears which explores the origins of karpov's biggest and best known band tomorrow welcome thank you for joining us on the news now the blitz launch 3rd debut album on wednesday what

are their chances of success. but you can never really tell the start of a k. pop groups career where they'll go or how far they'll go but nowadays there's a lot of eyes on k. pop so i imagine a lot of people are really interested in every cape pop group that's coming out nowadays in general the industry is very oversaturated and very full of all these talented stars working with various companies so it really depends on how they are able to make themselves and a part and their company is able to market them and get them integrated into the industry with you know good music and good performances and build up their international and local fan bases so we'll see what happens at them but i think because we're talking about them that's a pretty good sign now you said the market close over time to look it is i'm hopeful the continents to making it as competitive as it seems. just generally hip

hop is coming from seoul and the entertainment industry in south korea is relatively small in comparison to some other countries industries just because south korea is a relatively smaller country than countries like the u.s. or india where having huge giant industries with a lot of different talents competing every day every year to get into you know every t.v. show and music video and song and everything so the global scene for k. pop is much bigger than the local scene itself so you have all these artists hoping to get the airtime and to get the audience's ear but just like in the music world everywhere because of streaming because of social media because of radio there's only so much time that you can spend on actually getting an artist popular before you have to you know it's. a business they'll be on a good day so there's thousands of trainees that study every single year especially training to become escape idols and because it's something that takes years of

their life before you can start your career then once the career you know you release your 1st song you release your 1st album every single album every single release every time you do something there's another step towards some tracks but it can also be as a step away from you know the start of your career and maybe towards the potential of your demise so there's a lot of competition thousands of hopefuls every single year debut hard and $100.00 and like $10000.00 even make the cut at this point so it's very competitive industry there's a lot of older industries for training tutoring or become try out we're able to try out make it into a chill it make a proper site think the statistic is that don't quote me on this as a fact but i believe it's like one in every 1000 people who debut as a kid pop star actually are able to make it a lifelong career is not in cartagena told to just talk to us a bit about the pressure of of these performers are facing i mean what do you need

to do to be able to start out and what is the practice that is and holds to get you there. people who want to be stars whether they can saying they can dance they can rap they can act whatever it's a they cannot to sion for companies and these companies you know they see talent that they think is worth investing in and they bring on several you know young talents every year and it's an investment and then they usually the norm nowadays is competitions every single month so every single month you have to present something to the executives to kind of prove that you have what it takes to make it into a k. pop group and every month there are cuts this involves 'd you know performance aspects this involves physical training for your body it will all tell you all you need to tie your hair you maybe you need to have plastic surgery maybe you need to diet diets severe diets are a serious issue across the industry so nowadays we still a lot more tolerance coming from social media like to talk or people going viral across social media really changing careers and the sort of things are more and

more popular but at the same time because more and more people are going bigger and better than ever before you also having more and more people entering the market and so it's becoming even more saturated trial that's a fascinating explanation of what goes on behind the scenes thanks so much for joining us. that's it for the day we'll see you back here after moral provide. what secrets lie behind those who want to discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. p.w. world heritage 360 to get kidnapped now. drink spirits a lot of flush weeks extravagant outfits and glitter glitter the glitter of.

of reggae legend bob marley still resonates when looked back at his life and legacy . but to a growing scandal in hollywood it's one of tinsel town's oldest and most watched award shows but u.s. t.v. network n.b.c. says it. will not fold cost next year's golden globe ceremony the decision follows complaints about alleged ethical lapses and a lack of diversity in the hollywood foreign press association which hands out the film and t.v. prizes now someone who has been following the situation closely is all film and t.v. expert scott's rocks he joins me now from vaughn scoffs at this news by n.b.c. it's just the latest nail in the coffin a lot of people have been distancing themselves from the golden globes and the hollywood foreign press association fill us in on that please. yes you're right this is just the latest in a long list of companies and stars who come out to protest the golden globes and

the hollywood foreign press association just shortly for n.b.c. is announcement the actor tom cruise came out and said he was going to give back the 3 golden globes he's won in protest and we've seen huge media companies netflix amazon warner media saying they're going to boycott the golden globes right so quite a bot. this all goes back to the next phase i published in february that caused quite a stir. yes you're right it's the from the los angeles times they published a an exposé that exposed alleged alleged fraud and corruption and mismanagement at the globes they also revealed that none of the members of the hollywood foreign press association who vote on the golden globes are black and then added to that more recently an e-mail was leaked from for president of the association in which he quoted a article which called black lives matter the black lives better group quote a racist hate group well that's all been too much for hollywood and so we've seen

a lot of big stars ugly and scarlett johansson and mark ruffalo come out against the globes and now pretty much everyone in the hollywood film industry has come out against the hollywood foreign press association saying they have to undergo really fundamental reforms. many of us quite naturally see in the golden globes all voted on by thousands of professionals not the academy awards but that's not the case briefly if you could who is the hollywood foreign press association. a basically a small group of american foreign journalists who report on the film industry there just $87.00 members of the golden globes there are there with their price their money has grown to be the large 2nd largest unimportant award ceremony but the group itself is still very small and till now has lacked any form of oversight or able to have to answer for for their actions. ok scott roxboro of posting for us from boston that thanks very much for helping us understand that. architect

daniel levy scanned has created dozens of famous buildings but his name will always be associated with places one member and one of his most famous works is the jewish museum here in berlin he was kinda lost much of his family in the holocaust so the project had special meaning for him he went on to oversee the rebuilding of the world trade center on the occasion of his 75th birthday g.w. has this report. architect daniel levy can't comes from a polish jewish family she's a musician a humanist and a philosopher especially when it comes to buildings. every building the symbolic not even the stupidest building you see tells your story a very short one it says i have nothing to tell you. the skins architecture on the other hand has a lot to say. with their skewed and irregular geometry his building seem to suggest

that nothing is certain not even historical buildings. whether for museums or high rises his designs are trailblazing. but it was a while before his career took off britain's jewish museum was the 1st of leaders can still signs to be implemented some 20 years ago. by a sort of good new idea cutting it with a void with the abyss of history with with the show all with with a holocaust and create something that is memorable. towards the past but also looking forwards to a future broom with hope and with new light. it's a thoroughly symbolic construction marked by empty spaces meant to represent absence the millions of murdered european jews. a place of remembrance it's 1st and foremost a flexible space for the exhibition of 1700 years of german jewish history.

believe askins work in dresden is also about history and in this case military history he's driven a huge wedge into the city's old military museum. here he's created new perspectives with a glass platform facing the city you see exactly where the 1st bomb fell in making 45 on drugs that and the whole form is so similar to the triangle of bombs from which drugs i was completely erased from history all the buildings today in russia have been rebuilt luckily but i wanted to insert into the military history both in the sense that we are also in a new city it's not the same drugs that it's is just one that has been transformed through war. leave us candace from new york city traumatized by the terrorist attacks of september 11th 2001 he planned the construction at ground 0 a combination of the highrise freedom tower commercial buildings and a memorial in place of the destroyed world trade center. buildings shape our lives

they shape our health but more importantly they shaped our spiritual sense of identity and of belonging to a community and a solidarity with other people daniel leaders can't believe that architecture should touch the soul quest he continues to follow at the age of $75.00. and i remember those days before that when you went to cafes while in the likelihood you sat on a monitor block that's the real name of those. instantly recognisable white chairs made from a single piece of plastic stackable white oval and at 3 years per piece cheap to produce they could be a 1000000000 of them in circulation now they're the stars of a film that premieres this month at munich's documentary film festival. somewhere sad and dreary alone mysterious things stands against a wall

a plastic chair a seemingly ubiquitous one found everywhere despised and ridiculed a pathetic little actor on a big world stage. bigger business globally i've always seen this chair the way most of us do such a ridiculous object it's just lying around broken on a soccer field or at a party does it ever collapse under someone. the documentary shows that this chair is also a symbol a worldview impulse generator indeed it's the best selling piece of furniture in the world and it's called. it story starts in a shed in france in the 1970 s. where all the muscle need created the prototype of the plastic chair its success meant he later lived as a happy multimillionaire in santa paid. hundreds of companies produce the chair the model block has conquered the world by the billions and polarizes some people are dismissive of the cheap product then when they're on

a balcony or whatever eventually they just become unsightly if it's poorly designed or not very comfortable or to this day i don't understand why they even exist anymore i know but in poorer countries the chairs are celebrated like pop stuff this. is a work car this chair actually characterizes the world we live in more than anything else whereas here in europe we're really skeptical it's ugly it's ecologically problematic in many other countries people have no alternative to it there's either this chair or there's no chair at all would have got a country where the film team traveled through 5 continents vividly demonstrating how this chair connects people across the globe. in a small hut in uganda and that sits and reads a basket she's paralyzed and gets around mostly by crawling. over in california engineer don tests his groundbreaking invention low cost

wheelchairs for developing countries the heart of the design has them on a block. in the meantime one of them has arrived at the next house giving her much greater mobility and improving her life. this is if you are in for we don't need need your cancers it's not the plastic chair that's bad and awful and damn a bill this black and white way of thinking is wrong it's not going to get us anywhere when we write a scene in the light this film is a wonderful tribute to attack a plastic chair that is so much more than just that. i'll never look at them the same way again now his soulful melodies and poignant lyrics seem to transcend time his songs will always be remembered as out of the dispossessed yearning for freedom and justice i'm talking of course about the legendary bob marley who died 40 years ago aged just 36 he packed so much

into his short life spreading his love of reggae from his native jamaica to the whole world while also advocating for peace. good. was my one of bob marley's biggest tell us it was recorded in the mid 1970 s. when the musical genre of reggae started its triumphal march from kingston jamaica around the world. my job. was shut. down and this song started it all i shot the sheriff but as recorded by clapton the single by the british guitarist landed at the top of the us charts in 1974 and then everyone

wanted to know who had originally written the song. so often pave the way for bob marley's short but highly influential global career his lyrics often clearly address the situation of black people facing repression racism and poverty in. 1976 before marley performed at a concert aimed at calming political unrest in jamaica he was injured in an assassination attempt today bob marley is a national hero in his home country in idol to music fans around the world and the undisputed king of reggae music. marley died of cancer at just 36 years old following his death his song is this love became one of his most successful.

w. the boat . this is it really was life for berlin reprisals and retaliations fighting intensifies between israel and militant groups in gaza dozens killed in airstrikes and rocket fire deadly violence escalating further after weeks of under arrest also coming up a shock and disbelief several children and a t. shirt killed in a rare school shooting in russia at least one teenage gunman in custody.

thank you very much for joining us always starts this broadcast with the surge of deadly violence in the middle. that risks escalating further israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowing to intensify airstrikes against hamas militants in the gaza strip in the latest deadly incidents rocket attacks have killed 2 people in southern israel while spiraling violence has seen hamas fire missiles toward israel and israeli military air strikes israel says it killed 15 militants in strikes overnight you know health officials in gaza say 26 palestinians have been killed including children. oh. the father kisses his son one last time the 11 year old boy was killed after israel launched retaliatory strikes on gaza. officials there say 9 children died in the attack.

at the right as you kill him they kill and there is no one to make an answer for the whole world is watching it doesn't matter if it's a child or a woman there is no one to hold them accountable those. hours before how must militants fired a barrage of rockets from the palestinian enclave. to cross border attacks which began on monday marked a major escalation in violence. israel's prime minister warned that the fighting could continue for some time. out of the mouth of auction week but we are in a fight on several fronts jerusalem gaza and elsewhere in this country this evening on jerusalem day the terrorist organizations in gaza have crossed a red line and attacked us with missiles in the outskirts of jerusalem involved we will learn. the catalyst for the violence was israel's plans to evict

a number of palestinian families from east jerusalem to make room for jewish settlers. here. learns our acts a mosque compound a secret site to both muslims and jews has also been at the center of attention in recent weeks. the international community has repeated its calls for deescalation. and earlier w. news spoke to israel's ambassador to germany jeremy ross about the escalating tensions. well the truth is let's not forget that one of the driving forces behind this exchange of profits coming from gaza which is on the control of the hamas the hamas is hurting stream terrorist organization is climbing terrorist organization that has absolutely no interest in any peace process already political process with

israel as opposed to the palestinian authority that of course uphold a political solution i don't think that it's time for the moderates in the region israel jordan. and egypt should try and work to persuade the palestinian authority to do all they can to stop the violence want to stop the violence people can talk if there is violence people are on and that is the truth barrier to any programs and i would hope that the president violence would be indeed. seen if possible it was the ambassador speaking earlier today we can speak now to did a survey reporter sean who was on his show me the ambassador there you heard him say that israel has been in talks with international partners to try and deescalate the current situation but is there a willingness within israel to deescalate tensions why do they need other countries to get involved. well you always need other countries to get involved because there

are no direct talks between hamas and israel even though they are constantly in some sort of communication channel that's on the official technical level but if you ask me for we see it willingness now to deescalate in israel on the contrary. now under raids from israeli armed forces and it's been very clear according to anthony out statement from the last. 2 hours following the bombardments from got him from gaza to israel that they are going to strike and they're going to strike hard throughout the night and into now feels that he has he knows from past experience has a very narrow window of legitimacy from the international community to act before pressure is being put down and he wants to use that to weaken hamas to make it use to use its artillery against israel in an ineffective way and trying to get it to sort of pay the price that israel is trying to get the palestinians in gaza to pay

its gun and they're going to need to get this out of the system in a way they're going to have to make it worse before we can start seeing any improvement or deescalation i'm afraid reporter shani recent reporting and journalist in gaza city told us how gazans are experiencing the surge in violence. well i mean this this what hamas saying that because it's a revenge for what they called an israeli aggression aggression against palestinians or is that some people of course they are happy some people are not we are in the days that is 2 or one or 2 days ahead of the main holiday for full muslims in days and a quarter markets usually are busy in the swallow days today i was be told him in the city across the city and i talk to some people and there and it's almost empty in the city is is sad there is no movements nobody cares martians are sad there

there is stuff in the stores without customers but still some some people us are supporting that the criticism might happen after wars not joran yet still some people are criticizing it's not the right way to do it but still some people who are supporting this and saying this is the right way to stop the israeli. what they call israeli aggression against palestinians with or here in gaza or in the west bank. that was the has them the goods are reporting earlier from gaza city. and we turn our attention now to russia or at least 7 children have been killed and many more injured in a school shooting in the russian city of cazan 2 members of staff including a teacher also dead the suspected gunman is a teenager who's thought to be a former student at that very school. students in their black and white

uniforms flee across the school grounds away from the chaos inside a gunman entered the school early in the day and began shooting several explosions were heard some students were seen leaping from 3rd floor windows to escape. ambulances amassed to treat the many wounded and ferry them to hospital. there but as the some have penetrating wounds stab wounds there are people with muscular skeletal injuries as well as. security forces swarm to the school within an hour seizing the gunmen alive he's been named as a 19 year old who had announced his intention to kill on social media though his motive is unknown it's because of. family members gathered at the school bracing themselves for terrible news of those who were killed most were only 8th grade students as well as one teacher the regional leader has declared

a day of mourning. this is a great tragedy for our republic for our entire country and we deeply regret that this is happened this way that. school shootings are rare in russia where gun laws are tight the government has ordered a review of firearm regulations meanwhile the city of cazan grieves and waits for answers. did you ever use your shadow is at the scene of the shooting. well the area around this school right behind me is largely called that called into all flail and police are investigating at the scene and several members of the federal investigative committee war on my flight from moscow today because of this shooting is being investigated on the highest level here and russia the minister of education and the minister of how fast also come to cazan today to deal with the

have changed since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. or the pandemic many tourists came here to tell them especially at this time of year but now no one comes anymore. many of the archipelagos residents make their living from holiday makers. but the lack of tourists cause the economy to crash. the pandemic revealed the policy of only developing the tourism industry may have been a mistake agriculture and other economic sectors have been neglected. we need to further strengthen the local economy and i go culture fishing livestock domestic tourism and so on. because at the moment we depend almost entirely on europe. if europe is blocked we're also blocked automatically many of the
