life is so much more than what you think, you know, because i would never i am so free to remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way. broad explorer sticks jewish in years. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw, the, me, the the where, where would we have been during the corona virus pandemic? if we haven't had this move read. many of us been countless, i was doing it down linked to our tv and computer screen 5 full box. if we didn't have cinema us, at least we had shown voice on this one. welcome to

arts and culture. they say the golden age of television, but the knowledge series is a special section of berlin's international film festival dedicated to the small screen each year. the festival showcase is the most promising series for tv or streaming from around the world. the standard is always high and this year is no exception. it's a thing is a 5 part put a series focusing on a pandemic, that pre dated, coded by 4 decades. the a crisis of the 1980s. i just want to be happy. i want to learn everything. so be thinking, mich, london, london, london, 980 was a generation of young, gay men, head to the big city, experienced life love, and lots and lots of sex. it's the thing, captures the euphoria of the era, the 1st time, the l g b t q, community to be out,

am proud, a party party doesn't last long. it was 40 years ago that the 1st reports came of the mysterious illness affecting mainly homosexual men . the pandemic had begun to date it as killed, more than 30000000 people worldwide. so easy to forget the hardships and the glean as a wall of this community gone through. and this was a time where people were dying, left right and center. and you know, it, it was a death sentence, a was a death sentence, me. the series reminds us of the prejudice and discrimination that came with aids. granted by some the gay play catch up with blaine put on the victims. but the band demick also gave rise to political activism. to see it's a sin captures that fighting spirit that would change the working together,

the feminine. we're going to live. i wouldn't dare to talk about this without consulting our resident sidney, asked what works for you today is with me in person. welcome scott. now, seeing how to domestic premier earlier this year on british tv, it's that during a pandemic and it was shown in the midst of a different pandemic. how did it go down then? and now the berlin allah? yeah, this series is from russell russell to davies. of course, very well known him in britain, he rebooted the doctor who sy fi series very successful and is also well known for his pioneering l. g. p. the to a series of queer as folk from the late ninety's. this show, i mean, a receipt. incredible critical praise in britain here at the building. allah. and i'd like to do to jump in on that as well. jump on that bandwagon. this is, i think, one of the best t v series of maybe 10 years. it is sort of a frontline story of the aids epidemic and but the way russell tv tells the story,

it's not a just the fear and horror about period. it also tells the sort of the excitement and the joy of being being young and sexually active in 1985. it's a phenomenal show. okay. now tell you that scott, because we're going to see a kid from another series showcase out the festival. this is a documentary mini series from the us, focusing on police corruption. it's called philly, da. let's take a look. the this point, there are more people of color in prison or bunker role, then in slavery at the end of the civil war and reject it a long time ago. that the only purpose of the criminal justice systems to punish the things are working from the inside. you need to bring someone from the outside of the civil rights lawyer leery crass there was an insider when he ran for the district attorney of philadelphia despite slim chances. he won. the theories shows him pushing through reforms to reduce the city's enormous prison population at the

time and have the highest rate of incarceration of any major us city. for months, the directors followed chrysler day and day. yeah. well, he really has a very deep belief that the criminal justice system in the u. s. is completely upside down basically that it's, you know, it's creating much more harm than anybody realizes you think it's the thing that's there to protect you and create public safety. but actually it's, it's compounding harms on, on people and individuals and families. and it's, you know, it's a deeply systemically rates a system and in the history of this class takes on police brutality against african americans. what i suggest you don't shoot on arm people in the bath. mm. the also goes after corruption in a city knowing for corruption. i corrupt. do you think the city is anybody who knows there are secrets. we need to find a secret. you gotta be kidding. the lease off because the fighter he likes

to take on battle. he was a trial attorney. so i think he enjoys the fight. i'm up kind of what you need to be, you know, taking on an entire system. it's hard hitting and very political. yeah, definitely is very political series. i mean this is essentially what happens when a, an idealist, them a reformer, someone wants reform, the justice system, gets real power and the opportunity to do so. the show is particularly resonant. now of course, because it's coming after the black lives matter movement and calls for some in the u. s. to the fund of the police are issues that come up in the show. but for me, i don't, i just under really subtle and interestingly told, look at the justice system, how it really works in the united states. i found a real antidote to sort of under sensationalist, true crime, documentaries that seem to be everywhere. right. okay. now, me and the others is an austrian german co production,

and it's tom schilling and laws. i didn't have the taste the german star tom schilling is back. in the spotlight with a bazaar new theories, boyfriend was in relation to the how much, what would happen if all your secret wishes came true? every day tristan gets another wish. every day his life gets turned upside down. even when people are still not as good as history to this character, the way we get to know them is in every man and nobody every, he's pretty much a man without qualities to me. i can shop no l tack noise which starts as a fantasy soon. turns into a nightmare. me and the others. it's

a real bizarre and definitely unlike any theory you've seen before. and what did you make of it, scott? yeah, i wrote big fan of the charco, he's the guy who the austrian writer director created the show. it's so difficult. describe it. i would call it a groundhog day on acid. i mean, each episode, the main character gets one of his greatest wishes come true, but things never go as planned right now. stop title series used to be a no, no internationally, but that was before the success of shows like germany don't find 83 and the french spiral in their regional language is all around the world. what do you make of this? this show what international chances i think it's got pretty good chances. i mean the show reminds me a little bit of the feel of it. so control like netflix hit black mirror, but it's a lot funnier and has sort of a real deep psychological element to it, which i guess you'd imagine you'd imagine would come from from austria, home of sigmund freud. of course, it's got ross ross,

thanks for binge watching all those shows and i look for to for when you example good news kind awful metal heads. although germany's voc and open a heavy metal summer festival was cancelled for a 2nd year running earlier this month. the organizer say there will be a smaller scale edition later in the year. so i put september the 16th to the 18th in your diary called to head to the festival. it will include bands like germany's blind guardian and the metal queen dora celebrating almost 40 years in the business. now from heavy metal to something else, rather heavy spanish sculptor jose manuel castro. lopez is fascinated by stone. he makes granite and cool looks soft and pliable as if manipulated by the natural forces of erosion rather than by an artist too. he called himself a stone whisperer and draws inspiration from the coastal landscape of his home

region as calisha in northwestern spain. o as soft as butter ah, pierced like skin and folded like class. these are sculptures by spanish artists. jose manuel castro. cars all his works in stone. ah, mirror us, my relationship to stones isn't really physical. is my, it's magical in your because i feel the stones in a very special way, almost 2 years as if they obeyed me around the homeless here. yeah. and we had a kind of relationship to like, a friendship, young the, me star, jose manuel castro, trained as a stonemason and sculptor in the 1980 s,

at the scholar. they can terrace, and alicia, northwestern, spain. it is known as one of the country's best schools for stone masonry put on the ration culture has a profound relationship with stone. from the megalithic, monumental cathedral. alas, for the work i do of stone is based on this close relationship subtleness and me. and she, me there, i see it is something living you know, that he was the sculptor drugs inspiration from the galatian country side and whether being coastline. ready here, wind and water, the forces of nature, work the stone and create bizarre shapes. jose manuel castro's workshop is in the village. a villa day su, so near the atlantic coast. here he chisels, grimes and stands out. the smooth flowing surfaces of his stone sculptures with

power tools as well as painstakingly by hand. he gives the stone of finishing patina with fair chloride, high temperatures. move, we're always looking good at drawing it well. that other and i made models for a long time. it makes or how it all, but you also need a good imagination, which is that you must feel fuses, neighbors know what he does for a living, and that's some of his sculptures have been exhibited around the world like this. working granite titled union a, para, cosa or conspicuous union or works combined with what i passed through often works with ma, kenya. a blackstone commonly found in the region. ah, this is where he comes to wind down after

a long, hard day's work. yeah. oh no, i don't go because i find a relaxing because i feel the urge to do that. but it's exhausting. physically taxing and wires, a lot of dedication was paid whenever i completed demanding project. i always feel satisfied me. and what a stunning landscape. i don't forget to check out our website that f d w dot com slash coach from the whole team to watching the news every day for us and for our planet. my dear is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make city screener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do?

all our ways. we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable martin solutions overseas. our ways are, is truly unique and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. my d, the environmental global 3000 on d, w, and own me, the meat on world dory in russia. not all new supporters are being repressed. wyatt days on the greek island. we begin in may be. after 6 years of negotiations, germany has acknowledged the genocide committed against the herero and peoples

during its colonial rule. but some leaders reject the negotiated agreement. this is an emotional place for many herero. they come back regularly to visit this tree in the village of janine, hundreds of herero prisoners of war were hanged here by german troops. just go through the nic and they hang them. sadness. certainly anger. yes no, not that a human being could actually be doing this for what reason for the reason that all insist us simply stood up in refuse to give up what belong to them, namely violette. more than a 100 years ago, german soldiers killed almost 800000 herero,

a norma in the former colony of german side, west africa. in 19 no 4 loiter on, trotter gave the extermination order. it included women and children. no germany wants to recognize this as a genocide and has pledged 1100000000 euros for development projects. that's what the government negotiated with recro. that's a deal between 2 governments and the development aid. it has nothing to do with our demand for the operations. they are fully us. recur a former attorney general in namibia and his supporters are still considering legal actions. but previous attempts have already failed in several us courts. we are on our way to the village of a cock hora, 2 hours away by car here to the majority of the population as herero. and there are several traditional leaders on the bottom own. she didn't ship think,

you know, didn't existence. what are you doing for them as the east? not it's not that i'm not seeing. he's not the traditional leaders here don't share a singular viewpoint. some support recur legal actions. others are in favor of the deal negotiated by the government. some others want to renegotiation prioritizing more money for this region. unfortunately, the negotiating did not come back to us to tell us how did the german government arrived at the futures? the have concluded. so i'm not yet of the opinion that i did to governments should go ahead with the, with the agreement until the it is consensus with the effect the community back in jeanine power. my chief for courage and his followers say they will protest further . they want reparations and new negotiation. c

the in russia, anyone who stands up for the imprisoned kremlin critic alexis vol. nice will feel the state swift punishment. even signing an online petition is enough reason to be fired. today of guineas, donovan is just a guest in moscow's famous metro system. but just a month ago, he worked here as an escalator technician. then one day he received his dismissal papers without warning. donna, which says he was fired for political reasons for me and i was surprised at 1st, but then i felt awful. but then i got angry. if ganesh donovan was known as a diligent worker and says his work was never once criticized in the 3 years he was employed by the metro. but his signature on an online petition proved to be his

downfall. in april and the run up to the protest, demanding the release of alex seeing the volley, he signed the document and support of the opposition leader. he was just one of about 400000 russians to do so. and then meeting the i've never been to a protest. i'm not interested in the volley as a politician, but as a human being and a citizen of this country. and just like him, each one of us can be subject to the whims of the authorities. the police change tech at the most recent major protests in moscow on april 21st instead of mass arrest. many activists were subjected to intimidation and punishment. days later, this was repression. many were visited by police after the protest somewhere charged and jailed. others were fired or thrown out of college. the firing of guinea donovan was not an isolated incident. moscow's metro workers' union is currently being inundated with similar cases. not done it up buttons and we've

received more than 40 complaints on the phone. but i think there will be even more about 60 dismissals altogether. don't mo, mo, data course to just when the mass firings were brought up at a press conference kremlin speaker dmitri. pascal's maintained that the workers were let go for having taken part in unauthorized protests. and then employers had the right to do so. but you have guinea donovan claims he has never taken part in a protest. thank you, sir. if anyone can make mistakes, but i didn't. i voice my political opinion. if the state carries out such punishments, it'll achieve the opposite of its aims. people will want to join the opposition. i've always been silent, but no more checking which together with his union ge donovan plans to seal his employer the moscow metro. although he doesn't believe he'll succeed, he wants to keep fighting, even if it's only

a symbolic gesture. the cycling is both good for the environment and the popular activity in germany. the government wants to expand cycling infrastructure by investing 1000000000 euros mobility researchers and activists in berlin say more should be done on your bike and ride along a pop up cycle pants. these new yellow marked bike lanes have gotten things moving in for they hastily set up during the burgeoning corona virus pandemic, to give cyclists more space and more safety. but for nick casner, it's still not enough. he dreams of an inner city completely free of private car traffic. he's collecting signatures for a petition to hold a referendum. we are hoping to create a berlin that is safer health. we are more environmentally friendly and more livable for all citizens. that means ensuring that we have less private car traffic

and more opportunities to bike to walk, to enjoy the streets, either for gardening or phase or more playgrounds hearings together. enough signatures to force a referendum if he does, berliners can also vote unbending cars from the city center at the same time as they vote in september's federal election. what do the politicians thing? a pop up bike lane is a suitable pathway to berlin's traffic senator. the city recently eliminated 300 parking spaces for cars. here the green party senator for transport wants to push berlin's mobility revolution even further on. i like yes, not under the 1st week of fans, services, significant pain for more public transport or better cycling infrastructure. better transport infrastructure even for pedestrians in and on,

then very likely will raise the price of public space. and i did the whole factoid, 100 kilometers of fast bike lanes. our plan to better connect berlin's inner city with its outlying districts. in the near future mobility research, andreas me doesn't own a car or even a bike. he books trains cars and bicycles with his cell phone and calls for a radical sharing strategy. he says only shared mobility can stop cars eating up land then female will be, will learn to share cars in rural areas to the old won't be classic car sharing. the, the 5 people are driving 5 cars in the same direction at same time than those 5 people will be driving in one car and do that usually with digital platforms. and that's how we can drastically reduce the number of cars in rural areas as well out of practice with. what will mobility look like in the future? the move away from cars has just begun.

the grease is admitting tourists again, as long as they are vaccinated, recovered or tested. the island of mika nose is also emerging from its mandatory corona virus slumber. the season is kicking off with both hope and trepidation. ah sure if it's our heading back, it can be compared to may 2 years ago, but still, mika knows remains relatively quiet. foreign guests haven't arrived yet, but european are gearing up for their post marked down freedom to travel. and i'm on vacation and we can host with a colleague, we both work in the same hospital and we've had a tough here because of covert. and now we just want to relax. i think my political name was onto the live music is still banned in restaurants. and bars, the party jets it hasn't come back yet. it's not on the financial loss. generally

make on every bar is a party. we are parting a lot. everyone is coming here to have fun and to be connected with more people. so this is a very strange occasion for businesses here. last 70 percent of their income in 2020, in 2021. they can only hope for at least half of what they earned last year. the season has just begun special prices or attracting families, as well as those who want to enjoy some quiet time. this hotel, the old harbor, has been open since february. people here are happy about the tourists who don't come to party last year. prime minister curiosity switzer, talkies campaigned for less mass tourism and more sustainability in greece for islands like meeker knows which live, exclusively from tourism. it's a difficult balance one to receive a lot of stories,

of course because nickel knows is a huge tourism industry. but we want to do it with respect to our care and the nature of the island, the color of the island and the lives of the residents. most people you're getting vaccinated. sabina jacko's office tours of the island. she's happy that people here are getting the jan as i'm unflagging floors made clear in the beginning, the priority went by age woman. so this week they're starting to vaccinate everybody else. it started very early here and has been very well organized sales laws and they're all going to see ups party, safe, the locals hope that everything stays that way, especially when the port visits from cruise ships start again until then visitors can experience a completely different you can knows one that's romantically quiet. the news
