the secrets why behind me discover new adventures in 360 degree and explore the fascinating world heritage site w world heritage 3. now i this is the w coming up today prevented by china from getting a vaccine timelines. president said chinese intervention has prevented the island from receiving the german developed by on tech maxime. but how true is that claim? why didn't i pay for answers and intimidation tactics by me and mars military and investigation uncovered out the whole time using dead bodies to silence pro democracy voices. the

news my british energy. welcome to deed of the news, a show. thank you for joining us. dive on has for the 1st time directly accuse china of blocking a deal with germany's bio tech vaccine developer for over 900 jobs. biotech had contracted with the chinese company full soon to develop its covered 1900 vaccine for mainland china, hong kong, macau, and taiwan. but taiwan laws block the import of any vaccine from china and the ruling party meeting. on wednesday, taiwan president, sighing when said, and i thought we were close to completing the contract, but the reason the gentleman plant, but because the china is intervention up to now, there's been no way to complete it. a china has denied blocking vaccines to taiwan and is offered to provide them to the island. taiwan has millions of doses of backseat on order from astrazeneca, modena, so far, only about one percent of taiwan population has received

a vaccination. now we contacted biotech for their response to sign. when's statement about chinese intervention? the company have this to say we do not provide information on any potential, a possible distribution of our vaccine. our goal at biotech is to make the vaccine available to as many people worldwide as possible. did have a funding william yang join me from type pe with more on this story, william want us to when he's present sighing. when mean when she says chinese intervention has prevented taiwan from acquiring the biotech? maxine so, according to her time, one has been trying to sign a contract with bio tech in germany directly to get at least 5000000 doses of the kobe vaccine. that was also according to the health ministers revelation back in february. but then somehow when both sides were ready to actually issue the official press release by

a tech called and suspension of the whole process. and according to ken and also ty, today, china was the one that has been interfering with the whole process. however, they did not offer more details about how exactly to china try to intervene or put pressure either on bio tech or on time one. but the other very interesting thing that we need to taking mine is that there was actually an exclusive distributor for the greater china region for bias tech, which is a chinese company called food on in shawn high. they have an openly saying that they are willing to provide the biotech vaccine for time one, but because of time one's last to be an import of all chinese vaccines that has not been able to happen yet. you talked about the time trying to negotiate directly with by on tech, and apparently they were quite close to finishing that deal before it was suspended . what exactly is the problem with that given and keeping in mind that the

biotech appears to have an exclusive distributor for taiwan already. so supposedly under the original agreement between bio tech and the chinese distributor, the chinese to distribute a should be responsible for all the deals that's going to happen in the greater china region. and that actually covers time one. but because of tiny ones, very sensitive, political nature and the law, the fans all the imports up, the chinese manufactured vaccines. even if the technology is using the biotech technology, which is why the time when he's government has been trying to directly negotiate the deal with bio tech in germany itself. and that according to time, one herself was the same way that time. one was able to reach the deal with astrazeneca and also my turner, and these are the vaccine that are schedule or has already arrived in time one. but somehow in the case of bio tech, because of the chinese did the distributor and the potential involvement of chinese

government in this, the how many government has made it really clear that they are only going to from here this point on negotiate directly with the manufacturer or kovacs because they want to avoid any legal or political risk. where does that leave a tie? rod's vaccination program, which is so if i discovered about one percent of the population. right. exactly. so far the only existing and available vaccinate vaccine for all how many citizen is the extra the next one and there's only about. 2 410000, available so far, and time one has only vaccinated about 300000 of its citizens so far. and there are still millions of people waiting and because of the outbreak, the concern and the need for raising the vaccination rate is really putting a lot of pressure on the government and the government yesterday. and today,

according to the plan, there's going to be 2000000 more arriving by the end of june and also 10000000 things be ready by the end of august. and that is also going to include some of timelines, manufacturer vaccine. but there's still a lot of questions about whether time we can actually reach this certain protection level before the outbreak can be brought down. correspondent william young in type a, thank you very much for that. the investigation by the associated press news agency has drilled. the manmohan does use of dead bodies to terrorize citizens into submission. the investigation uncovered the military practice of carrying away bodies of people, shot dead by security forces, oftentimes in broad daylight to instill a sense of fear. among people actively say more than 800 people have been killed since protest began in february against the military stake or of power. the investigation by ab looked at thousands of videos posted on social media that

documents, soldiers clearing away bodies, sometimes like facts of rice. in for public view, a quick warning. some viewers may find a distressing some of the images in the following report. images like this circulating on social media, osha, something similar, security forces taking away bodies of people who were shot such unusual scenes have started to become a pattern. what is new is that this is taking place on the street and in public view. and it is intended to create anxiety, uncertainty and alarm among the population most effective when it happens out in the open during the day,

often filmed and shared on social media to verify the videos, death and loan uses satellite images and google maps to compare toko graphical landmarks, he also tries to track down the original source. so many people are retreating and re posting media. that's originally circulated. and that in of itself presents a lot of challenges when it comes to verifying material. zoom in really close to lum, worked at the human rights center investigation slap, which partnered with the associated press to analyze more than 2000 tweets and online images. the identified over a 100 instances where the military appeared to be using bodies of the dead or wounded to inspire fear. the hotel did not respond to media inquiries. if individuals were committing that crime can be identified,

it put them at great legal liability in terms of crimes against humanity than 800 people. the miasma had died in near daily protest. families are calling for justice and accountability for their loved ones. and they hoped at one day, they'll be able to live free from fear themselves. so to me for more is 10 to know she's managing director of the bama news, international media network content. we've just seen a report on the whole task campaign of state terror carrying away a dead bodies in full public view. what impact is that having on protest in the country? for the case of the people environment, it is not very new for them to see that all to tell it and cool and you meant

treatments of the the hunter. so they know that these, these i have been the and they witness the dead body being jack on the road. and the show we have is that, but the people do not, you know, do not back app. they continue to fight against the military coup. the whole into so i, in one case like a, normally the military on tad, they try to scare the people by doing all sorts of things. but, but for me i witness. and i also like very at my with the, the commitment and also all the motivation and brief ness of the people. so they know that they're like, you know, they are working within that very thin lines that they can be kill anytime that they have. but they're, they're continuing with the,

how did they protect the law and also team back and the l as finding them so, so i, it is not very much like they didn't have teams at all. i may be making the people to withdraw from the fight, but do people at all have to watch what they do? give us an insight into what goes to people's minds on a daily basis. being fully aware that dead bodies are being dragged away in front of them by the military. yes, of course, but it is quite like a gallery for many people. but because the statue from, you know, the minute to cool, because this is the time that we really mess and the minutes arises in the country and, and i thought that we can enjoy peace and harmony. and i can live with dignity in

the country. so somehow, even though you know people, many people are still in prison and also many, they are more than 2. i'd be already there to death the rest of my time. and that come out with my dad, you know, without i mean inside the bodies. and many wounds. so i mean like a close people have to be very cautious and at every step and every step that they're taking any, any kind of like, if they cancel action against them in a 3 pointer. so they have to be very careful. but they have, they have many so their youth group of people check team and what is going to happen. and then, you know, they always avoid any kind of stuff like that. they may think of coffee, one piece at the very least i'm face with, you know, danger, but many case that they can barge and continue with their protest. i get them to where leave it there for the time mean,

but thank you so much for joining us. tend to know, managing director of the bomb i news, international media network and can and there's more bits from the events in me and on our website lead up dot com, forward slash asia. and you can, of course, follows as ever on social media as well for back tomorrow. at the same time, we will see you then ah, every day for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make things? how can we protect habitat? we can make a difference. global ideas, the environmental theories in as little 3000 on the w and on please places in

europe are smashing the records. step into a ball venture. the treasure map for the modern globe. trotter's discovery, some of your record breaking into and now also in book form the, the hello and a warm welcome to arts and culture. and we have a show lined up that sir, to strike a chord, or possibly even to college. percussionist evelyn glennie has been almost totally dest since her early childhood. one reason why she's best place to teach audience is how to lead me. but 1st we'll venture. i head over heels start by tumbling down the rabbit hole of

victorian children's plastic that has left a lasting impact on water culture. alice's adventures in wonderland by lewis carroll was published back in 865. and since then, it's inspired everything from psychedelic rock music to celebrity chef heston bloom, insult extravagant mock turtle soup. london. victoria and albert museum does a wild exploration of its curious appeal and its character. the tester cat. the door mouth, the queen of hearts, the march hare and the mad hatter, alice in wonderland is one of the most famous children's books in the world. ah, victoria and albert museum in london has dedicated an entire exhibition to the famous tale and to its enduring cultural influence.

the fascination with alice is almost an article in a way. it is such a huge phenomenon around the globe. the book itself published and $1865.00, we're still a fest with it now. and we were trying to answer that question in the exhibition and why, how one's lamb become this phenomenon and not only within the literature across the film, design, photography, fashion, science, math every, every aspect of our lives. it all began in 862 in oxford, england. inspired by the scientific advances of the time university lecturer, charles dodson invented a story for 10 year old alice little, the daughter of a friend. ah, 3 years later dodson published the story under the pseudo nym lewis, carol. it was an instance sensation theater

designer tom piper designed the rooms for the exhibition, taking his cues from the victorian pursuit of knowledge, a library that comes to life with pages floating through space. really using all the skills i would use and theater to create this kind of nice as well that hopefully will really draw people in there. you feel they've gone down a rabbit hole into this sort of amazing sensory experience and then come out the other side. so the full of questions i guess, and hopefully one from surrealism and the psychedelic art of the 1900 sixty's to politics, photography, fashion, and costume design. the fabulous adventures of alice in wonderland have influenced them all. ah, what a trip indeed. and joining me here in the studio is our resident mad hatter, adrian kennedy, who i'm sure just like me is a huge fan of alice, absolutely. as

a child of the 60s. i do remember the fascination with the mind expanding aspects. i think that is that is the key to success lewis carroll and illustrates a created this whole new world and entering the world of alice was a bit like taking a legal trip. this of course, was very well summed up in the jefferson playing rock. so white rabbit, go ask alice when your 10 feet tall? yes, i do remember that one so many references to her everywhere i really just saw. smattering and for so long house was really that rare thing, wasn't she a strong strong female character? a very headstrong heroine of curious, of course. stopping too. and now she's been inspiring people, mostly girls and young women for over 150 years course. the story has been adapted

for the big screen. numerous times. it was silent movie as early as 9th. no free. so was the disney version in 1951 little contrary. first the americanization and data director, tim burton's take on the alice story. and i seem to remember that that that awful queen of hearts she was terrifying. no matter what the incarnation know. but it wasn't only the film world that was inspired by alice. i mean for instance, the surrealists were really crazy about her to. the exhibition includes, for example, the british to release the painter marion adams who was active between $938.97 was clearly inspired by alice fashion designers like vivian wes would fit on the left and victorian growth. this is the 18 layer alley stress, which appeared in a famous shoot for vogue magazine and design a camico horror created this out for the brand baby, the star showing bright. and,

and this is also, in spite a few more profane works, including this and 2 times a month for the irish be a kidney. ok, so an awful lot of stuff on show there. and yet, i'm sort of wondering because it doesn't seem to be very much about the rice or child dodson a lewis. carol thompson is of course, a little controversial because of his pre selection for photographing young girls. there is a photograph that he took of alice little in the exhibition, but otherwise the expression doesn't really go with that. is more about the positive power of the world she created with this. i conic story. it take. she's down the rabbit hole and it's a wonderful experience and actually name curious or, and curious, or it's on the victoria and albert museum until december. thanks very much, adrian kennedy for bringing us that story. thank you. well in other culture news,

it's been a buzz in hollywood for days, and now e commerce giant amazon has claims to deal to purchase m g m for just under $9000000000.00 us dollars. that's nearly 7000000000 euros metro. goldwyn mayer is the studio behind popular movie franchises, such as james bond and of course, the rocky film. the move is a decisive step toward strengthening amazon prime membership offering and marks the end of an era in hollywood and the beginning of another. and british author and photographer, johnny pitts is the winner of this year's leipzig book award for european understanding. it's one of germany's most significant literary wars and honors pits for his book, afro p, and notes from black europe, which documents his own search for a european post colonial identity. and now on to dame evelyn glennie,

who was exceptional talent on the drums and rhythm instruments has made her the world's premier solo percussionist renowned for her life performance as she's also a prolific composer with over 100 international awards to her credits. and it's pretty incredible to think that when she was a small girl no one would have even possibly ah, evelyn glennie uses her entire body as one giant ear. the 55 year old percussionist is nearly deaf, yet she seems to hear more than most i have absolute connection with this, all of the sound, regardless of whether you can hear it or not, is actually coming through the hand and not really important, but also a certain amount coming through the bow before the corona virus pandemic put concerts on pause. evelyn glennie jetted around the world performing now

over the last year. she's had time to dedicate to her instruments, some 2000 of them kept here in her studio and cambridge share england. when june wrenches i and it goes all the way up and i think the chromatic thought under there. so really i think the wonderful thing about percussion is that a lot of that is to do with the imagination. evelyn glennie experiences sound with an intensity. that's infectious misconception desk people live in a world of silence and does very rarely the case actually because all of our other sensors are razor sharp. so even if we see something move, we imagine sound there. and of course, you know, as a musician, you know,

we have all of these objects, the tar, completely silent, but all it takes is just a little movement. this move the strap of this move. this moves a little bit, you know, and suddenly there's a little orchestra there, but only if we pay attention in evelyn glennie is the 1st female drum soloist to achieve global success. it was an easy way along the way glennie proved that a young woman who lost her hearing as a child could become a musician. a similar story plays out in the film sound of metal about a drummer who goes deaf. evelyn glennie worked on the films sound design.

the film one this year is academy award for best sound and i just thought that gave a very realistic view as regards to the complex nature of hearing. so it was very interesting to see the character really begin to understand that before the actual evelyn glennie herself has one grammy's ah, in 2012 she performed the opening ceremony of the london olympics. queen elizabeth has even made her a dame for her achievements in the world of sound. but glennie also believes in silence. such an important sound because it can ignite all different emotions that can be frightening. it can be

a relief. it can be loving and gentle. it can be phone, it can be nervous, it can be awkward, it can be heavy threatening. it can be almost every single kind of emotion you can think of. glennie also wants people to understand that hearing is not the same as listening. a lot of the challenges we have, whether it's in the workplace or in a home environment is about listening. often the breakdowns happen because it simply be because we're, we're just not quite connecting in how we listen. and so that's not about hearing which can be measured and in a medical way you know you can be is, is completely death be a great, great listener for evelyn glennie. learning to listen is the key to creating

a better life together. making music is just one vehicle for connection with and i'll not brilliant note, it's time for me to sign also until next time, all the best from us in berlin. stay safe and bye bye for now. the the the me the news, the news ah. into the conflict

and then we know that this judiciary has been, we put night to get the freedom fighters, the people who brought this liberation. it has been nice to talk at those. that's true to stand on the side of the majority. so and we love friends in job zoom up the case states back to an army from 998 in 2005, you must form a financial advisor was convicted for taking a bright from the manufacturer and passing it on to zoom out afterwards. the prosecution also started to look into duma, but the case was dropped shortly before you became president after his presidency in 2018. the case was picked up again, but since then they have been multiple delayed, mainly due to legal technicalities. it's already backed that it is taking so long. one thing more over and above this case, the wheels of justice and in of justice. and so the forgot very, very slow, very,

very slow. you talk about the, the state capture commission. how many relations have come out there and not a thing, a pessimist behind bars up to now the case is likely to drag on for months. possibly even yes. more than 200 witnesses wise. the observer believe there is another case that could possibly bring do much value even though the case is related to the states kept a commission, a commission that set up himself during his presidency to investigate corruption. do my p. s for your time? but like i said, the commission is biased and refused to appear again. the constitutional court ruled that he had to he didn't do to him. and the next week, it is expected that the constitutional court rules and the results could possibly even be a jail term. within this year, not that increase in the south africa, the syrians have been the voting and the presidential election, the so but certain to hand the 4th term to bash. i'll a sad,

it's the 2nd election since the start of a civil war 10 years ago that has killed and displaced hundreds of thousands. the poles has been widely dismissed of sham president. assad is facing too little known challenges and voting has been greatly restricted. already celebrated past the window and on the surface it looks like just another election. but few here, i doubt about who will be the winner. james listen wilshire. we came here today because this is about a future that we came to say that we are free to choose who represents awesome. so we can fill this beautiful country together thought. even though the opposition and western powers, according the elections a foss, the man seen by many outside of syria as a brutal dictator, is defiant to international critics. he had this response. mobilization we've seen

in recent weeks is a clear response to western criticism of the elections. i say to the west, you opinions have 0 value and you are worth 10 times less. in reality, not many voices will be heard. only residence of areas under government control can vote in the country that has the largest number of displays, people in the world. those in ripple health districts are excluded, and the autonomy is crude as regions in the north. i'm not participating instead in ripple hill, even if this is what they made up the election, a massive turn out against a sat here. they see him as a war criminal and no one would ever accept his rule again. on the soda story about today, 10 years after the syrian revolution,

we've come out to tell the criminal syrian regime and the murderous russians that the elections are illegitimate. tenant authority, what had god willing but sean sat was face a trial and instead of ruling, he will end up in the dust been of history. and all that said i, in that decade the syrian war has left nearly half a 1000000 people dead, and half the country's population displaced for bashar al assad. this is another victory, but it's a victory paid for with tremendous suffering. let's get more from a banter shabba. she's a head of the middle east division of the german political foundation, the heinrich of bows, shift on a welcome steed w. so how much support does basha alice? i really have you look at how these elections are being held. you can already estimate half of the population is not able to vote because they are simply nothing

areas that are participating in the voting and all those show. i mean, there are so many people signing with their own lot. there are lots of posters and all just president bashar if you mount. so this is where these election you can guess is real support, at least he himself has felt about it. ok, so he's promised to to, to use he's next term in office to rebuild the country. so who's going to assess them in that if he wants assistance, he would need to perform them very severe changes and he has not shown any indication that he's ready to do that. so on that he'll be left with his wife around russia. please, however, have constantly demonstrated that they are willing to both. so his military efforts and to help him in winning the war. but they have not done any efforts to rebuild the country in a minute here and a, this is not coming from allies. so what, where will it come from because the country needs to be reconstructed will,

regardless of whether aside, is in, is in, is in power or not. well this is what we would say, but obviously the sharon regime does not see it that way. they installed a tax, so they are collecting texas on citizen said to pay for reconstruction. they have done so for a few years. but you can see nothing about happened at destroy cities, remain in rebel in rubble and destroyed areas and cities have not been rebuild. what has been done with this many is to invest in some government buildings and to small amount of money has also been used for the military. so far, the concession tax has not been used for that. why would anybody else jump in and say, well, then we send a bit more and we will flow into the construction by the seller from the gym and political foundation. heinrich stiff, don't speaking. and the double bond is legal entre frankfurt of high volts burg coach oliver glass. not a 3 year deal. the student took over volkswagen 2019 and led them to
