my father told me how to ask uncomfortable questions about my country and about that is why i keep doing to my knees. and i work at the abilene me 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 dead since her early childhood. one reason why she's best place to teach audience is how to live with 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 modern 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 blumenthal, extravagant mock turtle soup, london, sick toria and albert museum does a wild exploration of its curious appeal and its characters. the chest, her cat. with door mouth, the queen of hearts, the marched hair 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 with philip 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 aspects of our lives. it all began in 18. $62.00 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 aa. 3 years later, dodson published a story under the pseudo nym louis 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. the library that comes to life with pages floating through space, who really using all the skills that i would use and theater to create this kind of a massive well that hopefully will really draw people in there and 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 designs are 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 actually the key to success louis carol 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 plain 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 alice 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 so in that

movie, as early as 9, no free. so was the won't disney version in 1951 little control 1st, the americanization and zeta 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 no. 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 purchase list paying marian adams who was active between 1938 and 970 was clearly inspired by alice fashion designers like vivian west wood outfits on the left and victor and roof. this is the 18 layer alley stress, which appeared in a famous shoot for vogue magazine and design a camico horror created this outfit. so the brand baby, the stars shine bright,

and alice is also, in spite a few more profane works, including this advertisement for the irish b. guinness. 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 ricer child dodson. a louis carol doctrine 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. there is more about the positive power of the world. she created with this eye clinic story. it takes you 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. all in other cult news. it's

been a buzz in hollywood for days, and now e commerce giant amazon has cleans 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 films 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, johnnie pitts is the winner of this year's leipzig book award for european understanding. it's one of germany's most significant literary awards and honors pits for his book, africa, p, and notes from black europe, which documents his own search for a european post colonial identity and now onto dame evelyn glennie,

who is exceptional talent on the drums and rhythm. instruments has made her the world's premier solo percussionist renowned for her life performance. she's also a prolific composer with over $100.00 international awards to her credit. 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 has 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 that's 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 in cambridge, cher england. when she was june wrenches i and it goes all the way up and i think the kemati thought under there. so really i think the wonderful thing about precaution is that a lot of that is to do with the imagination. evelyn glennie experiences sound with an intensity. that's infectious misconception. death, people live in a world of silence. and that's very rarely the case actually because all of our other senses 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 that are completely silent, but all it takes is just a little movement. this moves 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. but 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 film sound design.

the film one this year is academy award for best sound and i just felt that gave a very realistic view as regards to the complex nature of hearing. so it was very interesting to see the character really begins understand the good for the actual evelyn glennie herself has one grammy's in 2012. she performed the opening ceremony of the london olympics. queen elizabeth has even made her dame for her achievements in the world of sound. but glennie also believes in silence. it's 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 fun, 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. plenty 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's simply because we're, we're just not quite connecting and 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 completely deaf that 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 on that brilliant note, it's time for me to sign also until next time, all the best from us in berlin face. and bye bye for now. the green. you feel worried about the furnace? me to neil postal on the green fence and to me is clear. we need to change the solutions or out the join me for a deep dive into the green transformation is to me, to use for the secret

why behind these was the discover new adventures in 360 degree and explore fascinating world heritage site. the w world heritage 360, get the app. now me the news this week on world stories. the trial against about the supporters begins in russia. dennis is once again sensing on tourists. but we begin with the community. hospice and staff around the world are being pushed to the brink of burden. this made a long term consequences experts for, ah,

may of more than you saw a lot of people die in one shift in the same and at that time we had up to 10, well, death per night and see what terrible it up there. it was terrible mascara on every ship. the bell that rang to move the bodies of the patients to the cold room was ringing almost every 2 hours. every hour. i've got the order way. it was a very severe psychological stress, me. so mexican ness, alina cell, got lost, lots of cove, it even her father who contract the virus, working as a doctor. it was so hard to, it was the most painful experience. i've seen so many people die. and i saw a lot of people die. like many of the almost 28000000 nurses around the world working under huge pressure at the forefront of the pandemic. for

many people was about to be out to be earlier and the fact me, the international council of nasa says mass trauma among nasa's is a global phenomenon. the organization wants the pandemic chemical turning point for health care. now, 12 plus months into the pandemic, we should be seeing those applause turn into action. we need to see hard investment in protection, the support, the development of nursing and health care workforce, not just to the sake of all health systems, but for our national safety and security. the i c n says at least 3000 nurses

around the world have died from cove at 19. the real number is thought to be in the 10s of thousands. that was the most difficult and big. i couldn't many of the done wonderful, i'm not going to be defined data guessing is no more in some countries, but heavy tell us the pandemic has prompted a growing number of nasty to leave the profession. but for many, it's reinforced that dedication to the job ah, in russia, a court will establish whether supporters of geo criminal critic, alec seen the bony should be designated as extremes the ruling fitness, long prison sentences from members of the opposition. ah,

this letter seals the deal. it officially ends under the preclude in contract with alex in of nice team. and they headed the opposition politicians regional office and for 4 years the russia will be free. he says andrea was arrested at recent unauthorized protests. his team organized and to bear, but now his office, along with 36 others in nevada, these campaign network has had to close russia, state prosecutor once them declared extremist. andrea tells us he wants to create a new local political organization to keep working police because before politics was always centered on the russian capital moscow. but thanks to the navarro, the campaign offices. political activity has bubbled up across the rushes, regions all over, you know, reach you now. it's time for us regions to jump into the deep end and swim for ourselves. it's hard and dangerous, but it's

a necessary phase in the development of political life. not only fear, but across the country. and he and his team, and there have become friends over the years like and most of them have been arrested several times and i've accepted threats and pressure as the price to pay for pushing back against the kremlin. but the extremist label takes not to another level. it could make symbols like this surreal, like end for now by neat illegal activists found to be part of an extremist organization could face up to 10 years in prison. initial setup that i lost my job and when i tried to get a new one, recently they told me in private that their security service wouldn't let them hire me. we have already had problems with work with, you know, they really start tightening the screws and i see that they're making a show of putting former employees activists and volunteers of, of only offices in jail. of course, i will think about how i may have to lay low somewhere for a while, though, but those that we have at the, the,

even people outside of not by these actual team has been facing increasingly serious consequences for protesting against the government. earlier this year, thousands were detained during demonstrations in support of nevada, ne, and there have been several reports of employers firing people for packing, the politician. but andy and couldn't is unrelentingly optimistic. the 31 year old wants to keep pushing for a more democratic russia. and he says he's willing to take personal risks to further strengthen the role of civil society in his home city. and the whole region produced 60 of them category. so not the example of alexi and of only those who came back to russia, knowing that he would almost definitely be it strengthens my sense is that sometimes you have to pay a personal price in order for you and your country to have a bright future gift label the ship to be placed on me. now under one's to

register as a candidate for the regional parliament in the upcoming elections. he hopes his association with navarre needs team won't get him barred from running. the in germany. priority for vaccination against community has so far been given to the elderly and the ills in cities such as thought the authorities are no targeting those who live on the margins of society. ah, finally, a chance to get the job at this homeless shelter in bon, around 60, to 90 people who have found refugees have signed their products. nation today. it's a special vaccine campaign by the city authorities and efforts to reach those who might otherwise fall through the cracks in the system. i said with that, i think it's great. i don't think i would have been able to sort this out myself. so i think it's quite good. this is such

a nice counseling session. apart from difficulties they face making a doctors appointment. there are other obstacles to whom the people getting vaccinated. so delighted as it might not have ones and most of the people are not so healthy, they've had a hard life of experience homelessness, extreme poverty, drug addiction, and it's hard to take a lot of medication and it's just comforting to know that they will no longer be at risk of getting a severe credit 19 infections and so far, germany has vaccinated a 3rd of its population with those. but they're still odd enough to go around. this is why old and particularly vulnerable groups, a being prioritized for the homeless people in the drug program. the city has $900.00 doses of the johnson and johnson, maxine which only needs to be given once and the people being willing to get the job towards the middle. yes, i'm going back to today at 1 pm. one is no,

i won't be there. i'm mullins one dose, then everything's done. so you know, but i'm happy with the reasons yet that i have side effect shipments for one day. but otherwise, i'm fine. i will get a good lawyer. i think it's going pretty well. i'm sorry. actually getting to typically german people always take longer to take things off, but now it's going well, i don't want germany's vaccination program is coming along and like one other cities are also trying to reach out to my phone rural part of the population that nobody is left behind the since the italian government relaxed it's strict luna measures earlier this week. cities such as that which struggle with over tourism under normal circumstances. i know hoping to return.
