the discovery, the world news, subscribed to the w documentary on you to me you're watching d. w. use asia coming up today to 100000000 cctv cameras. that's the estimate for how many there are in china. we take a closer look at whether we have smart cities or surveillance date plus the impossible choice japan basis if the tokyo olympic games move forward, will it bring a co research to the country? the news i melissa channel,

thanks for joining us. it is one of the most modern cities in the world, shanghai with it's 24000000 residents. but in an authoritarian state, that also means a lot of people to manage. and one of the best ways to keep an eye on things is through video surveillance. of course, that's not how political leaders sell it. they say shanghai is the 21st century smart city using ai facial recognition and big data. and they hope to expand the system across the country. he w mathias bullying again, very special access to where all this monitoring takes place. it is called a brain and it has hundreds of thousands of ice. and please of this surveillance center called city brain in shanghai, put on the district, have direct control over cameras that cover almost every corner of the district. in the background, artificial intelligence scans the footage for rule breakers. on this construction

site, it has identified a worker was not wearing his helmet. besides camera footage, the system also collects data from the city administration and property management . the government wants to create a powerful tool to govern this city and its citizens, sion don don, is one of the designers of the system that has been operating since 201800 shows that they were tested down on the law by seeing nickel for us citizens in the city . this system helps providing a secure, orderly, and clean environment that the government doesn't mean to govern the city more efficiently. due until financial mclaughlin, wiley hall, john, they go check. the city brains, employees have access to more than 290000 cameras. and this is just one hub of what the government envisions as a nationwide network. the goal is 100 percent camera coverage at all. important

places like train stations, crossroads parks, in berlin scholar. my callback has studied these efforts for many years. she says she has downloaded millions of tender school surveillance systems from government websites that often spell out the goal of the surveillance explicitly. the concern about machine guess i'm going to mention a mental intox. they are describing how human interaction is the source of any social conflict. conflict is what could cause trouble for the government who is concerned with social stability. so as long as you can cover every aspect of human life cameras in surveillance, one can react to fuse and calm down the situation. come and listen. conflict and decking and chaffin on how to bother you will put on shanghai central

business district is. but one of many places that have such extensive data and surveillance infrastructure. there is little opposition from the public to the or seeing system put on city brand, not only collect surveillance footage, but also detailed data about each household in the city. in the covert outbreak, its employees were given an additional task. the data is used to ensure citizens are observing their quarantine. let me push. does it go, didn't actually, we install into connected sensors at the apartment door. if somebody leaves the flatten breach of the anti epidemic rules, we will get an alarm signal, mental health authority and compound workers would be informed by us and can react swiftly across to the project. like to don't city brain show. china government sees data as a means of control. the pandemic has only advanced these ambitions.

joining us as jennifer sou research fellow at the louis institute in sydney, welcome to the program jennifer. according to one study, china has 18 out of 20 of the most surveilled cities in the world. but from the report we just saw, it looks as if many chinese residents are okay with this. i think china is an authoritarian state. i believe that there is much option or opportunities for citizens to view dissatisfaction or that disagreement with the increasingly so cameras, surveillance technology in the cities. unlike elsewhere, i think china is the approach to survey loans in the a purchase. my city's is driven by the state, the central states,

so it's very top down. and the opinions and voices of the citizens are often neglected in the usual state policies. yet super hard to get a sense. you can't exactly run polls, but are there some people who view it as living in a modern smart city as opposed to living in a surveillance city? do we have a sense? oh, i think. yeah, i think let me answered in this way. i think post panoramic post current of our post cobit 19, there's going to be a great role for technology. whether it's monitoring, health future tend to makes and other such issues. the role of technology will become increasingly important. and i think this is one way in which the chinese state will utilize technology to increase its surveillance on its citizens. perhaps for good for health reasons,

but also probably from the perspective he maintains civility, cohesion, and other such issues. so i think in a post and amec, well, we're going to see a greater use of technology in china and broad for monitoring different issues, helping one of them. but issues of personal privacy will obviously come into into contact with these monitoring devices. technology can you give us an example of that? we know, for example, that the video monitoring system in shanghai would be able to look at people and make sure that they weren't exiting their apartments during the lockdown. but can you give me a couple more examples of how this might play out, as you say, post pandemic? yes. so we know that surveillance technology is, well there like 200000000 or more security cameras being used

in china. and possibly edging up to $300000000.00 by me. 2018 that what you 100000000 and the estimate for the end of 202300 1000000, which far exceeds the number of cameras to use in the us. 15000000 are these cameras as slaves reading reports, hurting media coverage of what is happening, and john issues against chinese citizens in she's young and elsewhere against. i think minor she is in china. so i think there's a conflict of situation within china. the state monitoring of ethnic minorities the push to to stay ahead of future pandemic. i think we can see these events and potential future as coming out to converge. and technology will be a really important part of it. you mentioned the united states and big cities

around the world from sidney to london. have video cameras. what makes cameras in china different, or is there no difference? well, i think the idea here. so the idea of cameras is part of surveillance, but they are also part of this idea of a smart city where, you know, the use of technology can help governments improve their efficiency in terms of the delivery of services to the citizens. but it's how you utilize that technology camera, technology, and they want to stop component of smart city. so how that technology is used by the chinese state is often questionable in a democracy about the strength of the or, or the united states and elsewhere. how that solder is used. it's not transparent, or it's sorry, opaque in the case of china. so that's where we see additional goals.

yes, that's right. got it. jennifer sou, thank you so much for joining us. japan is facing a serious conundrum. it has thanks so much money into the olympics, officially $15400000000.00 us dollars. and if tokyo cancels the games, the country stands to lose an estimated 16500000000. so organizers are low to stop the games, but citizens see a public health danger if the event moves forward and majority do not want it to happen, especially because most of the country remains unvaccinated. all these spirits, the australian olympic softball team, is the 1st international squad to arrive in japan, and that's they think, unprecedented restrictions. the restaurants, know, sightseeing, certainly no socializing. i think that these athletes as well,

neither do i have to take responsibility for their own behaviors. well, they're committed to do that committed to look after themselves, but do the right thing by the japanese population as well and be ready for the gang . so most people in japan did not want the olympic games to happen. that questioning of the sense of 15000 olympic and paralympic athletes from more than 200 countries traveling to japan at a time when serious cobra 19 cases have recently hit new highs. the nation's slow vaccination roll out isn't helping either. you see lucas, no matter where the japan has been working hard to roll vaccines out like that. demand did not match with supply. and that was from the very start. japanese olympic athletes are now being offered jobs, but only about 2 and a half percent of japan's population has been fully vaccinated so far.

despite all this organizes a standing firm and took a book with a wall held all over the world. and as i've said, there are no examples of clusters of the infection spreading. therefore, we believe we don't need to think about counseling. now. the arrival of australia softball team is a huge show of confidence in the legal events or team members tested negative after landing. but the question remains, will this be enough. 6 to restore the confidence of the japanese public in the games that's it for today will leave you with the more pictures of japan olympic torch relay running through the book we preach, fracture, thanks for watching the tomorrow. the

news the, the been ongoing quest or the arab spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt, rulers and dictatorship. all these moments had left the box in my memory. mm. they had

hoped for more security, more freedom and more dignity have their hopes for 10 years after the arab spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d, w. the coming up on arts and culture, we ask is railey and palestinian authors what it would take to create peace. and later on the showed the meaning behind fashion, trends and designs. an exhibition that examines dress codes, official and unspoken. the 1st hour stint hands in gaza are picking up the pieces and mourning their dead politicians and israel clash over who will leave the country next and still after last month's rocket fire and

retaliations. no one knows how the 2 peoples palestinians and jews will live together. the latest war between hamas and israel ended with leaders from both sides, declaring victory, but lasting peace seems as distant as ever. we spoke to top israeli authors and an influential palestinian philosopher about the regions future. oh, i see fire between israel and how much has been in place for almost 2 weeks, but the mood remains tense. there's a sense of frustration on all sides. and last thing solution in the middle east seems further away than ever. and this, after the conflict has been pushed into the background for a time by the pandemic. there. well, we're not a huge surprise, but the timing was really oh for we had the kind of a maybe a religion that there was a kind of solidarity in the society during the corner days. we found that we

have the same enemies in a way as soon as corona seem to feature that was straight back to the old front, eternally smouldering conflict escalated again for vacation, reaction harsh account to reaction a spiral of violence. the ritual is what is really right, a carrot cause it, there is no way that anything is going to change you. after the war is over, nobody was really interested in the police 15 years in finding out the readership in creating a dialogue. then i don't think it's free, useful now it's going to ring strawberries on us to people's unable to share land to people's exhausted and angry course with tough leadership on both sides. fear is a breeding ground for extreme positions that prohibit partnership palestinian

philosopher, sorry, new se b has been involved in the conflict for decades seeking peaceful reservation. he favors mediation and he's looking to find solutions without violence. but with reason, we have to find away using our reason using our senses. our common sense i mean to, to construct something which will allow us to live side by side together. respecting the space of one another, respecting the traditions religions, the symbols, the national identities. if you like, and the basic human rights, it is the inability to imagine the lives of others rights you say be the former pillow member teaches coach university in jerusalem and believes education and information of the keys to drawing closer where you do it.

partly by being in the classroom teaching, talking about different ways, different conflicts that have taken place. trying to develop and respect for tolerance for otherness for open the door own daughter, holocaust survivors also attempt a change of perspective and writes about living together with palestinians. my neighbor, the one more is under the occupation, probably has a similar story to tell about the dream, to be free about the dream, to have a country and to raise the family in a peaceful, open life in the sci fi continues,

but for how long it seems no one can believe in lasting peace. at the moment. a museum in the united states has returned to ancient stone carvings that were smuggled out of thailand half a century ago. the ty government welcomed back the carvings at a ceremony in bangkok, the sandstone support beams were originally part of to temples built about a 1000 years ago. experts believe they were stolen during the vietnam war before being sold in europe and then donated to the city of san francisco where they were on display for decades. here's a question for you. what are you wearing? and what does that say about you about your job, your culture, your personality? well, the exhibition dress code tries to get at the meaning behind what we, where the show started in japan. and now it's open to the public. here in germany,

at the bonus, consult federal art museum and the former west german capital. bon we do it every day. we dress up and send signals. fashion is much more than just wearing clothes. it's about self expression and communication. bear up on the streets on instagram, do close, make us what we are. express who we are. we may creative decisions every time we put something, go on, put to help get this. that was culturally, there are big differences in japan, for example, worthy exhibition originates, there is a very stereotypical system. i were a business suit, black and white is by and large, the standard here, there are more individual options, a lot lose. all man talks historian krause has been direct to the buddhist. couldn't tell us since 2020, and he's making her debut in bond with the show dress code conceived in kyoto,

japan, i went on the road of fashion is underrated here in germany, especially our cultural understanding of it. you don't necessarily have to know the codes, but you can follow them in this exhibition. game of fashion is also about roles and functions and social cultural affiliation. the basic folk cabinetry of dress code includes, for example, the suit, the uniform of the business world, and many incarnations creative, unconventional, multifaceted person breaking the classic dress code is always a choice japanese design a car. how a coupon was a pioneer of an innovative approach to dress codes. she creates cultural silhouettes with direct references to arts on this can mono. she collaborated with manga artist makoto tech, trashy ah, this dress,

quote, italian, all of the late when nissans and get this. it's only pinned on at the front. ah, charming, knew yen also works at the interface between arts and question from berlin. she present works inspired by vietnamese street. so the question lamp talked about. it's a wearable sculpture. i moded it from a motorcycle with textiles. you can wear it, however you like most to the gold standard of dress codes that show no outfit presented by coco chanel in 1950 plastic women like jackie kennedy or rummy snyder war. it's still a great way to say, i've made it me. this will also function. now you might think so, but actually this outfit was tailored cloned by the brand,

but moments the instead of c. c on the buttons. brazen or clever, and just upset pop actually, since there's always been shifting between high and low jumps between the 2. what is cultural heritage? what is a masterpiece? and what do i take from it? how much do i help myself from this pool? of those to see and be seen in the wake of the corona virus. this could be more important than ever use that drama will return and will be more aware of what we do with this medium medium. again, it's time to get creative with those dress code decisions and dw culture reporter mike and crew guys. here with me for more on dress codes. let's get to it. after the pandemic will things be more glamorous? i don't know. mike. the way i'd say to like, people are wearing whatever they feel like people i know are saying, why would i buy new clothing,

even though i have nowhere to where it are things going to pick up again when, when the rules loosen up and we go out again, oh, let me tell you that i thing there is no way back and i mean for daily life. no. hi, here is no suits for the office anymore. and yet at least this is what the fashioned experts expect in germany on the fashion stores already react to that they would use the space for the business fashion. and there is more space for sweatpants or more selection and more casual. it's getting more comfortable, expensive clothes, the ones with glamorous materials. in the last couple of months, the working at home situation gave us the little bit of a fashion freedom. and the fashion history shows that once we get something really uncomfortable, like cars, that for example, it won't come back. and on the other hand, there will be a kind of fashion explosion when we are allowed to get again to get out party

outfit like we've never seen before. like high heels with $0.15 a minute need is a really looking forward to that. going to have to take me to some parties with you because i want to see you in those 15 centimeter hightail. ok, but if every article on the dance floor on the floor, yes, every article of clothing is a code. can you decode what you're wearing for us? what does the say about you mica? of course i'm dressed to impress, of course, but not too much because my outfit should not distract from the subject we're talking about. but it's always depends on the subject. talking about the fashion then it strong color of course is possible, but there are so many other routes. for example, your social background had an influence on your dress code or what group you then defy with you. for example, you are wearing this suit jacket because you want to taken seriously. hopefully

they, that's a little bit maybe. and you were also patient. that means you would like to look cool, a little bit late back. ok, and i also need a place to put my microphone. has the jack technical reasons, always very ok. what you know, we hear this expression sometimes dress for success, dress for the job. you want the suit makes the man. is there anything to that really? absolutely. let me tell you about this one study that showed that school teachers assume the pupils in suits with of on golf fashion. a more intelligent for them than the ones with genes and foodies. and that is, yeah, really, the fact so dress to impress or dress for success is absolutely right. so they, what are you going to wait tomorrow? i asked me that asked me about what we're going to be talking about harris. i
