all these moments. have left deep banks in my memory. they have hoped for more security more freedom more dignity. have their hopes fulfilled. in years after the arab spring. valley and starts june 7th on d w. i was shows and in the i heard inside the bush awards in london i. joined us to unpack the highlights and the gossip at the british music industry's most glittering night as the year also on the show. and the back of the long and varied career of sent to baghdad as the actor and producer turns 80. and put

a sculpture tony crack place tribute to his former mentor joseph course this special exhibition. welcome to arts and culture the brits awards is one of the biggest nights in the music industry's calendar this year it made history as the 1st major indoor music event to take price with a low noise audience since a pandemic closed the doors of cultural venue's everywhere thousands of fans and front line workers were invited to london's o 2 arena for the glittering occasion with some stars even braving quarantine to collect the accolades in person and some spectacular performances. the 2021 british words kicked off in grand style with a performance by the band coldplay from a pontoon on the river thames. but it was women who took center stage with 8 of the. brit's going to female artists including

album of the year for future must tell jokes by developer. little. kids and a girl but only little mix who became the 1st women to win the trophy for best british group. it's not easy being a female in the u.k. pop industry we've seen the what might dominance mr cheney sexism and lack of diversity we're probably stuck together by said i'm proud to surround ourselves with strong women and i'm now using our voices more than ever which performances in front of a live audience and to talk about iconic elton john this year's brit awards marked a welcome return to normal for a music industry battered by a year of cope with lockdown. i was watching from home and so was culture reporter scott he joins us now

from boston scott's high that as we heard a big night for female artists directly poor little me expired celebrated let's talk about the other winners of the night. yeah i mean the brits have come under a lot of criticism as have so many award shows for in the past over emphasizing male artists and ignoring female artists but they made a lot of changes last year and it seems to have paid off because the majority of the winners last night were female artists we saw artists like arlo parker who won breakthrough british artist last night for her debut album collapsed and sunbeams taylor swift the indomitable taylor swift took the stage to become the 1st woman to win the brits global icon award and the all female band hine took the best international group on earth is interesting they're actually from l.a.

and they spent 10 days in quarantine in london just to be able to be at the brits personally well that's what i call dedication scott how it was the 1st event at london's i'm 2 arena since the pandemic started and there was a mix of niven prerecorded performances but very significantly there was a knife or do you tell us about that. yeah that was only made possible because the u.k. government designated the brits a past event so they allowed them to try out new protocols to see if you could do life music with a live audience safely under coded conditions so the stadium had several 1000 people in it many of them were actually workers from the british national health service the n.h.s. who got free tickets to attend the event and they were treated to a really impressive a lineup of live performances including rodriguez who performed her megahit driver's license live on the o 2 stage we had. he won the u.k.

drill band that really got the audience on their feet but i was actually been impressed by the the pipe in performance of supreme court of ones like that probably canadian pop star of the weekend which looked quite impressive in general i think the brits felt like. a return to normal of and a sign of hope that maybe in the very near future real pawn stars with real audiences can take place again. we'll keep our fingers crossed for that now the push towards a not 9 for being political but briefly if you can this year that changed. yes definitely everyone who took the stage used it basically to make some political point to. dress the british prime minister boris johnson directly telling him to raise the pay for workers of the n.h.s. we can't use his acceptance speech to call for more action for the victims of violence in ethiopia and even taylor swift her acceptance speech to thank the n.h.s. for helping out during the pandemic of course so many of the members of the n.h.s. or in the audience there said it was over very very well in general it was incredibly activist night at the brits scott rocks reporting from bone thanks so

much for your analysis. big screen small screen over the stage center bagger is master of them all from teenage starlets in 1950 s. austria to hollywood leading lady charlton heston and cut douglas wood just 2 leading men she's been on the berlin film festival jury twice and in 2622006 she became one of the 1st female activists to talk about sexual harassment in hollywood long before people started listening in the weeks and to bag the turns 80 we look back at her career. center of baghdad has brought the power of her charisma to both the big them small screens in a career spanning more than 6 decades so she's become a role model of self-confident femininity she gives even the most conventional characters that certain something special making them authentic and strong but

never arrogant. as to confront the cuffs on the moment of timorous i'd always been pretty realistic about my job i wasn't interested in signing autographs but in just being allowed to act and being seen enough of course there was some useful exhibitionism involved but you get over that as you go through life. bad girl was born in vienna in 1941 her father was a musician and her mother a teacher though her parents were not well off she was able to take ballet and acting lessons. i never felt my childhood was hard just the opposite i think we along with the rest of society were very fortunate to be able to feel we were able to look forward to the future belong to us he wanted to get out of the social housing i grew up in and conquer the world and being stuck with the very. center bagger ended up going to hollywood where she acted alongside stars like charlton

heston and you'll brenner and kirk douglas seen here. what about bob swanson my mother was 23 and was suddenly working with a list actors over there that wasn't always easy hog i think she was almost mobbed by all those men and one concluding for instance kirk douglas but they were also friendly to my mother i wonder why when i look at her from back then i can understand why the men were so friendly to her they were all after her but then my mother always charmingly put them off because she was already with my father this diva the screen goddess stayed true to him luckily because otherwise i wouldn't be here gives me. the $966.00 bagger married director miscarry for whose together they started the centanni production company their sons also worked in the film business zeman 5 if indeed his mother lead role in the successful comedy welcome to germany. is coming by the in

house. and i just. don't roll on a plate or let go his fish will only look twice in disease pa in their live in east indies new house and i'm not finished with us i think is a particular challenge for an actress it has to be said but she's mastered it brilliantly she's remains a young soul she tries to confront the difficulties that are a normal part of life with a smile and to take joy in her life camp she tries to find something each day that makes life worthwhile because i hope i'm able to grow old like that to do. its job sure i think i've been very lucky and still am but i also think that i've learned to make the right decision at the right moment not always but often it lifting moments of truth. whether on screen or are sent about god has had a rich and fascinating life full of success and joy we wish her many more years to

come. a strong woman with some tales to tell. now german conception artist joseph boyce would have been 100 dismayed one of the many artists he inspired is bush's stops had 10 he cried he later my gemini his home voice was both a mentor and a friend to cry as a tribute to voice in his city to crack has selected 20 of his works from 5 it collections and put them on display in his own special gallery. tony cracks greatest because on construct is arguably this sculpture park which was transformed from an abandoned part of land in. where the british artist has lived for some time now. a white boy says he believes that part is always political. in a world where everything is becoming impoverished and weaker and destroyed scotcher

is one of the only ways of producing new forms new language new ideas new emotions and i think that's a very very important role you know while the industry is dead killing everything around us the sculpture park is a space of energetic exchange. crags own works enter a dialogue with the works of other artists. currently those of joseph boyce. voice and a lot of artists of that generation they were the 1st ones to talk about the environment they were the 1st ones to really start to talk about our relationship to nature they were the 1st ones to talk about our acceptance of political systems of of ideas of hierarchy and so when you look at today and you see how many platforms for protest have opened up. tony cracked 1st met voice

in london in 1972. first time actually seeing him in the white house he stood there . this fish the jacket on it is that and the curious curious figure and not very good english i have to say the exhibition perpetual motion comprises small works that make for big art replete with symbolism like the rose for democracy or preparing. boyce's complex thoughts compacted into little sculptures raise more questions than they answer. indeed there is not so much to see but what the observer is left with is what owns one's own reflection you find out what you think what you have in your head. so you don't have to understand it all to get boyce just be creative and follow your intuition. that

is it is not be able to be. some plastic good there. joseph royce inspiration to so many artists and how this morning we're all stories on our website that's d w dot com slash from the whole arts and culture team here in berlin to take cat and join us again scene. happiness is for everyone schumann penises are very different from primates peanuts we have made totally ridiculous romanticized view of nature in their day that this is climate change crisis sex how freeness in 3 books you get smarter for free to double your books are new to.

you. is quite as simple as it seems. to understand the world better we need to take a closer look at. the experience knowledge to morrow today. i. play. this week on world stories living in the fear of war and ukraine coronavirus is out of control in brazil. but we begin in turkey which often ends up being the final destination for afghan refugees attempting to reach europe many of them dying in the mountains on

the way over. symmetry of the nameless this is how the locals call this. and for a mean a sufi saga and her son parviz it is always difficult to come here. painful memories are reawakened. motherhood years it didn't make you the people who are buried here have mothers brothers and sisters they all have someone who love them but now their families don't even know that they are here it breaks my heart that there is no one who comes and prays for them mobile how did you not active. that is why i'm ina and power vis pray here on behalf of everyone else alone. they flit from of ghana stunned by iran to turkey illegally on foot over the mountains it's

a long dangerous journey many freeze to death or die in accidents and many who don't make it end up here. in the eastern turkish city of van in an unadorned grave with no name. on them without a myself there is a man here was found dead in the mountains and once they brought women's bodies their fingers and toes were frozen off from the cold. of. the route leads through the mountains straddling turkey's border with iran up to 4000 meters high most of those trying to reach europe from afghanistan pakistan bangladesh take this way ticky is now building walls everywhere in the region they are hundreds of kilometers long the border with syria has already been closed off the wall to iran is still under construction. human rights lawyer mahmoud cut chances

a war won't stop the refugees it only makes the journey more dangerous. he has in this area been ignoring people smuggling for too long it's become kind of a business sector so many get involved in this because a lot of money can be made in a short time at a relatively low risk. i mean and power of this stuff usada still clearly remember their own flight from afghanistan the smugglers took everything from them they say they have been living here in van for 3 years now. the family found refuge in turkey but like so many others they want to continue to with europe. back to afghanistan they say that's out of the question for me but if we have to go back they will kill my son that's not an option. so they are holding out in eastern turkey

stranded in their new existence and they think of those who lost their lives and are buried here at the cemetery of the nameless. that appointment of russian troops on ukraine's border has raised concerns about our new war. this is especially true in mario polls where many residents remember the last war all too well. only a few of the older children here can really remember a time without war since conflict began 7 years ago these children have seen parents lose their livelihoods and often their lives now they found stability in this christian children's home in marable a city of half a 1000000 people just a matter of kilometers from the front lines. dropping everything and getting to safety in a hurry is what this drill is all about russia's troop buildup along ukraine's

borders means these kinds of exercises are once again part of daily life here for some of the teenagers though there is little need to practice the least it will be back in 2014 i spent 2 months living in our sailor with my mom and most i never thought the war would reach us i remember watching t.v. it all just seemed so unreal like something from a film then our neighbour's house was hit we ran jade into the sailor for cover and we were just listening to it all. it was really scary i'm scared the house of collapse around us and we'd be trapped in their. back in 2014 marable's frontline suburbs so the shelling of residential neighborhoods and dozens of casualties. nowadays the front line is still just as close to the city and its residents just as vulnerable ukraine's army has made significant strides since 2014 but at sea where russian forces are also now massing ukraine is still at

a significant disadvantage. the crew of this ukrainian coast guard vessel a tight lipped they're willing to tell us that they've seen increased russian activity in recent weeks they're ready and willing they say to respond to any possible provocation whether or not they expect all out war they refuse to say. for all the military and diplomatic posturing every day life goes on you can often seem oblivious to all the attention being paid to this region by the outside world. i have no idea if there will be a war or not but it definitely doesn't depend on what we do here. yes there are raising tensions now but i still think this is all about political bargaining. everyone here in marriot hall has a sick pact with money and in case they need to leave in a hurry everyone does. we're tired of being afraid that something people here in eastern ukraine tell you time and time again desperate for a chance to live

a little even if that won't stop them preparing for the worst as they like the rest of the world try to understand what it is like to meet putin and his troops have in store for them. you other countries in the world have experienced the coronavirus pandemic get as out of control as brazil. hospitals in rio de janeiro are hopelessly overwhelmed. in a suburb of rio de janeiro the situation is dire there are similar scenes throughout the city the number of patients at the same time hospital. out of drugs such as sedatives. we don't have to strip down patients who are on ventilators because we don't have any more sedatives so painkillers really shouldn't have to do that it's like torture the patient can no longer ask for help when they feel uncomfortable

the lack of much needed medicines makes both of us and the patient suffer. meanwhile more and more younger patients are being admitted to intensive care units with cases so severe that they have to be artificially ventilated this is apparently a jew to the faster spreading p. one mutation according to the director of rio's largest hospital treating cope with 19 patients. the number of older people getting sick has decreased slightly because many have already been vaccinated but at the same time the number of people under 60 has increased sharply. we have seen more and more young patients in intensive care and more young people dying in this phase of the pain. than the a small me into that when they meet. the president of the council of nurses in rio blames president jaya both scenarios government for the lack of sitters.

who must call comes but we are in this chaos because those responsible at the ministry of health do not have the necessary expertise for the job or the wrong personnel one hired for political reasons the government must now trust the science stop denying the dangers and employ competent people who can give us a chance at success things said the economic but getting to boss at the well you already is according to doctors they're not only short on sedatives there's also a lack of syringes and other important medical products with you i would never of thought that after 20 years of experience i would be at this point. lack of painkillers has brought us. doctors to the point where in some situations we have to ask ourselves whether we are still doing for our patients what we swore to do when we took the oath as students. brazil is in the middle of

a critical phase of the pandemic. in germany children still aren't being vaccinated against the corona virus even though infections for kids with down's syndrome are extremely dangerous their parents are waiting for the vaccines to be approved for children. physical exercises i'm poor and especially for flavia the 14 year old has down's syndrome normally she doesn't do that with her mother but her physio therapist but since the coronavirus pandemic started the family has severely restricted their contacts because for flavia covered infection could be fatal. and infect your own booked by mention madonsela of people with down syndrome an infection has much greater risks than. additionally we know very little about long

term effects of this illness so even if she were to survive an infection you wouldn't know what would come after that. this is after me. and how hard. therefore the family keeps to themselves physical contact with others is restricted the children are only ok finally allowed to play with this school happens online all of this puts a strain on flavia what's wrong. with my go bye bye i cried quite a bit because school was closed so we had to do it digitally and that was stressful . on a massive hour flabby american. top $1.05 we've noticed that flavia suffers enormously from this loneliness she sits in her room for hours she talks to her so more and more she makes noise she just isolates ourself. want

a cup of thaw. getting flavia are vaccinated against covered would help the family but no vaccine has yet been approved for under 16 year olds in germany clinical trials are still ongoing in test run as it was on to. explain these trials different age groups are tested and the close observation that way the research is congressionally find out how the drug reacts with certain groups but they haven't finished that yet so using the pixie now is a bit like walking into a dark forest so to speak and don't invite good villains of it. the family hopes that this dark forest will clear soon they don't know when the vaccination will be approved for children until then they will do everything they can to protect that daughter.
