2016 as like a bunch of the clean customer wants to see if germany was for me. the last few years have been quite right. and that's already done my home when it comes to jermel be it. and of course i would look in the eyes birches, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of $900.00 on the route i love to be isn't use there. a person never comes when you feel him up together, you'll realize it's culture. another way of living. are you ready to meet the german? enjoy me right to do it on b w. the me. you're watching the w news asia coming up to date. what's happening in tibet? the territory long under the control of china also has a long history of resistance. but in the era of shooting team any and all pushback has been eradicated, we take a closer look. plus we'll talk restart between the us and north korea on the nuclear station. that's what the bag by ministration would like to see.

the me i melissa chan, thanks for joining us with so many regions and people facing pressure from the chinese state, whether from the weekly chipping away of civil liberties and hong kong to the mass attention of the persecuted ethnic, weaker population or chinese military jets flying closer and closer to taiwan, attention to tibet can be easily lost. one of the reasons for the lack of coverage is the fact that the territory has been closed and controlled by beijing as a police state the longest. we know very little, but as our report shows, people into bed have learned the art of wealth. double speak, tibet nicknamed the roof of the world for its rugged peaks and home to the spectacular pothole a palace. but these days,

one of the most common sights and the remote territory is the chinese leaders smiling face. and is china celebrates the 70th anniversary of its control over tibet. it is broadening its political education campaign. what when this monk is asked who his spiritual leader is, he clearly names him to the chinese president, seizing, paying your team to we are under the leadership of the communist party. now, of course, so we must learn about politics was i think there is no contradiction to study politics in a buddhist college. but it is no coincidence that the monks at this college are so comfortable with the party line to chose which goes to the cottages and chosen because they are training these people hoping to train these people to

become creatures for comedies party. and it's new version of the chinese version of history is learned from an early age in tibet that beijing peacefully liberated tibet in 1951 to bats. economy has grown under the care of china central government . and that the dalai lama, the spiritual leader of tibetan buddhism, who fled to bed in 1959 is today, a dangerous separatist. and tibetans should transfer their loyalty from him to the communist party. nor can do to help you. this is certainly of great importance because our young people have grown under the embrace of the party. so our young people must cherish the party, listened to the party, and be guided by the party and be loyal to our beautiful new tibet, which is well, maybe the staging strongly denies any accusations of rights abuses and says all ethnic groups into bad have the right to religious freedom,

but critics accused china of a calculated cultural take over the i think it's a battle time who's going to win the memories of the day to read to the children being a priest society or more time to perform in terms of all new messages being taken by the congress, whatever tibetans choose to believe it will surely be closely monitored by the watchful gaze of the chinese state. joining us as chi mueller of the international campaign for tibet. a tie, i'm struck by the words of robbie barnett from the report we just saw about the fight over memory that will determine the values and traditions of a younger generation of tibetans. what are your thoughts on that? well, i think it's, it's obviously a struggle over over cultural identity about cultural heritage off tibetans

which shows an indifferent aspect. for example, if she would take language as one important vehicle, an instrument to transport or to, to saw further develop codger and the chinese government onslaught on the use of tibetan language. this is clearly one example for the better here in tibet about cultural identity, about the cultural d. n. a. often tibetan people itself and they are quite a few and 2 bedrooms who in their local communities try to protect in that case at about language. for example, as a means or as an integral part of the tibetan culture. and they wish to to, to use their language to develop their language and not it being a colloquial means of communications. i remember by visit to last or more than

a decade ago, actually in late 2008. and i remember at the time the chinese government curtailing the activities of monks at monasteries since then. it has it ever led up or has the climate just been getting worse? i think that there is a sort of market in history which, which we can identify. 2008 and post 2008 protest situation, which was followed by tibetan crossed protest in terms of service emulations and other single fort has by monks who were detained. so that the climate under choosing thing in particular and, and then our party secretary chain can go who move on then to the change young area. as we know has as really worse and leaving less and less space for tibetan communities. let us own for protests or dissenting views of

tibetans. now you mentioned shane jones. we know that there are detention camps there. is that also happening in tibet? well, it is, it is somewhat a similar situation but not, not quite. so if one compares to back into junk is certainly a different narrative apply to change young with regard to extreme with regard to so called anti terror measures, which we do not see in the on netscape, into back into bed it's. it's rather the, the narrative of anti poverty or anti poverty measures poverty, olivia ation and social development, which is being used to justify those measures. and in fact, overall the will of the ccp in tibet with regard to those allegations of camps they have been report indeed about the course of labor programs, which,

which insinuates all which implied that there has been a considerable, considerable sort of repression. these are the rural rural population in tibet and that those tibetans do not have a choice but to, to, to participate in those programs which approved them as would approve them from that they are cultural environments and from actually from the families to be send on to factories tie, miller, thank you so much for joining us. me any time? anywhere and without pre conditions. that's washington's latest offer to pyongyang, an opening a dialogue over its nuclear program. the bided administration's new envoy for north

korea was installed on monday to push forward efforts to restart the stalled diplomacy. the u. s. south korea and japan are looking for ways to convince p yankee stop developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. washington has promised a quote calibrated practical approach. and last week leader kim john gave his 1st reaction to that policy. he ordered his officials to prepare for both dialogue and confrontation with the emphasis on the latter. here's the us and void earlier today . will be prepared for either because we are still waiting to hear back from the proposal for the meeting. and hopefully you can reference the dialogue indicates that a positive response to joining us is j will shannon analyst with the open nuclear network. it seems as if the 2 sides aren't really on the same page at all. if the u . s. is talking about dialogue and north korea seems more focused on potential

conflict. that's right, it's the united states and it's counterparts in south grands tokyo's. obviously focusing on the dialogue part of the expression that's received much attention. last week, when kim's on one is repository, said that the country should prepare for both dialogue and confrontation. d expression from last week in itself is not particularly new. i would say the, the reason why i got a lot of attention is that it's the 1st time that comes on and south has signals to the united states that would be prepared for, for dialogue, all confrontation following the and us and ministration. but we have, we had similar things from north korea before. in fact, yes. well, i'm wondering how much is pill young's lack of interest or eagerness?

lack of eagerness related to kim jones and already having had photo ops with america already a formerly with a president, trump and singapore in vietnam, and also at the d, m. z. so there's no sense of urgency. that's right, i think that's exactly what chris thinking at the moment. in fact, in may 18 this year, we're seeing a statement from north korea for us, vice foreign minister on here in which they said exactly bads. most career wouldn't be giving away opportunities like singapore and some noise anymore, unless there's a change in us policy and, and sulfide appears. that's what north korea has seen. sulfide is not, not sufficient for north korea to really come out and respond to the americans efforts to engage in dialogue. now we've reported on cove it in north korea and the country has become even more insular during the pandemic. it seems to be in

a very bad place economically with even some people mentioning of a return to the hardships of the famine decade of the 1990s. how much is this a factor in driving pyongyang foreign policy? we, 1st of all, we do not believe it to be as bad as in the 90s, but suddenly is a very serious situation and facts during last week's meetings, planner meetings in north korea can, john is reported to us, put a lot of focus on the diet would situation so that's domestically where the focus lies by the government. and it's, it's indeed the fact that i could play a role and it's foreign foreign relations. there has not been any, any major engagements, basically any country and person for, for quite some time now. and this is clearly due to the corporate mentioned situation. jo, shane, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. that's it for

today. just one more thing. it's the international day of yoga. so will leave you with pictures of people around the world, practicing yoga, thanks for watching and see you tomorrow. goodbye. the news . the against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection then developing? what does the latest research say? information and contact the corona virus, not 19th, special next on dw, the, it's about billions,

it's about power. it's about the foundation of the new world order, the new silk road. china wants to expand this influence with this trade network and also in europe, conflicts or inevitable consequences. unpredictable gateway to europe starts july 1st on d, w. the me demick has devastated the global travel and tourism industry. no sector stuff at long, no region has bad worst. when your revenues went down, almost 50 percent in 2020 many city. the eagerly trying to win back visitors here. they faced stiff competition from the great outdoors and ongoing

international restrictions on. so will call rhythm ever recover the me. the arrival of summer to the northern hemisphere brought great hope to tourist destinations. finally, a chance to make some money after a last season in 2020. but the current of ours pandemic still hangs over the sector, making a return to normal, still elusive. we report from paris. paris loves its tourists. that's the message. these young, multilingual ambassadors are trying to spread. why should you have to return? it shouldn't hesitate and just come to paris, we'll help them find the bearings here. the sultan pompey do, and all the other parish and such a pleasant city and more and more of us to help visitors. this makes me happy. some apostage buena, up to $500.00 of them will be deployed this year in an effort to kick stop tourism

again. after a visit to numbers plummeted by 2 thirds last year, but the tourists who normally represent a large ship, the cities, visitors, people from asia and the u. s. might be a bit longer incoming, or sweat school or more of your movie. the more we would like everybody to come back to paris, but we are obviously aware that french and european choices are likely to be the 1st one back, as it still easier for them to travel. so please stay on the upper. many hotels are trying to learn invalid kids with special deals, with some luxury establishment, offering discounts of up to 70 percent. but no offer will convince those already desperate to get out of the city. this french couple have chosen to go to higher ground, 50 kilometers north of the french capital. to everyone with this pandemic, people have understood that they needed to disconnect from reality. such special offers aren't necessarily so important for me. we need to breed and take

a step back from work, especially as we've all been working from home for quite a while now, because they are not the only ones who feel the urge to get out of the city, but reservations at these cabins have skyrocketed said dave, i'm only dicky for i'm as always, it is like people have slipped since the beginning of the code. 1900 crisis and realized that they needed nature to reconnect to who they are. we can't keep up with demand and now planning to construct an additional 5 cabin by the end of next year to go for funk new will given the ceiling portion. and yet some might argue this is exactly the right time to visit paris or other cities. here at the louvre, the world's biggest museum furnace makeup, 3 quarters of visitors. but to do to cave at 19 restrictions, many of these visitors from abroad are not showing up. that's why you can now even

get tickets at short notice and visits won't have his work so far, almost by yourself. what's true for the louvre is true for other sites in the french capital. you no longer have to queue for hours and that might be the most appealing tourist attraction of all. we can now speak to frank higgins to be all who is a senior lecturer in tourism at the university of south australia. thanks for joining us on the curve at 19 special. it's hard to over stay the size of the impact of the pandemic on tourism. isn't it? it really is. these are extraordinary times and for people who have been through locked down and repeated locked down, it's been so difficult. and then trying to get that balance right between dealing with public health, extraordinary public health situation and keeping the economy going or trying to get through them revived. it's really extraordinarily difficult. yeah. so what are

the main obstacles in the way of tourism getting back to normal? well, we've never had a shut down like this for a global tourism system. so the difficulties have to do with managing public health and we're finding some very good approaches, particularly in europe with things like the digital code, the certificate, which is going to enable european why travel trying to get mass vaccinations out and then measures with dealing with the possibilities of difficulty, so using contact pricing and so on. but the system has actually been run down. so for instance, our a b ation system now is in disarray because planes have been put in storage basically because our ation circuits are all shut down. the crews industry has

been absolutely crippled by to be for them. and it's just now trying to wind back up. so it's extraordinarily difficult to, to ramp up things again. you know, i mean, one of the big obstacle was, as you mentioned, is the potential spreading of corona virus and variance of it. and it has countries and they sort of limbo of loosening and tightening restrictions. have seen a lot of that in europe around the, the delta very into the moment. is there a danger of people losing all confidence in any holiday? did they book well people who are more worried and careful are going to find it very difficult and it will probably be a couple of years before we see competence and travel occurring again. there will be those who are adventuresome and won't worry about these difficulties. and will be flexible, but you know, following stereotypes that tends to be young. and in some countries,

we're not seeing the vaccine rolled out quickly to the young. it's the elderly and the people with health problems who are getting the vaccinations 1st. so there's also that aspect to getting things rolling again. i know that a lot of young people are really not used to this lack of freedom that they're experiencing, and they're really talking at the bit to get out and experience trouble. so yes, it's amazing how we're having to be patient. we're having to wait and see how things unfold. and i've just learned in the news today that some israelis you were vaccinated, how costco of it. so we don't know how the various vaccinations are going to provide immunity for how long all of those things. so there's a lot of moving parts to the, some difficulty that we're in and the use of travel bubbles and travel

circuits is one way that we're getting our tourism travel, accommodations and all of that going again. so europe will definitely be one of the cases of seeing how things go and how, how we can get things successful. again. yeah, you mentioned about how some people are just desperate to get out there. and travel again is the flip side to the us and that there may be now people who have taken a liking to traveling within the countries in which they already live. and that international tourism may not get back to the physician. that it was the full well, it would seem that we're in an era of really profound change and i don't think the travel we knew before will come back the way it was before. we took cheap travel for granted. and we thought that we could go anywhere we wanted, you know, just on whims and for varying inexpensive, very easy sort of holiday. and it's likely that travel will be more expensive for

the next few years. it's probably not going to be as convenient because there won't be so many route to travel or so many ease of scheduling to happen. and we have to be ready, for instance, for thing like quarantine measures to be put in place for perhaps another year or so. so the difficulties are likely to remain. we will see, i think the term i would use is a local ization of travel and narrowing of travel and even people wanting to know their home countries. you know, sometimes we take our home country for granted and we want to travel to other places. the difference for the exoticism and so on. so on. so i think that we will find this more narrow circuit right. fray higgins d b o from university of south australia. thanks for joining us on the kevin 1. $900.00 special. thank you so much and i was part of the

program where we put one of your questions to ask science correspondent eric williams. paul, do i have been given that seems approved in europe to come to europe guidelines for traveling to and within the european union this summer are a work in progress, and they're likely to remain pretty chaotic for a while. thus, because member state governments actually make their own rules so, so they vary from country to country, in other words, and what the french authorities or the german authorities demand that could differ in key ways from what, for instance, the spanish authorities demand or the greek authorities demand the e u as a whole is still trying to get its ducks in a row when it comes to travel and the launch of a new joint digital certificate for people who have been fascinated or recently tested. or who have recovered from over 19. it should help,

but for the moment that certificate is still largely really aimed at streamlining cross border travel for people within europe and a lot less so for travelers from 3rd countries. however, according to an official fact sheet on the digital vaccine passport member states only have to allow free movement for those who have been fully vaccinated with one of the 4 vaccines currently authorized. i think your appeal medicines agency. yeah . may. although it does add that member states may also decide to extend the privilege to travelers who received other vaccines. but a lot of countries won't do that, at least at 1st. so if you want to travel to europe from outside the block, but you haven't been fully vaccinated with either pfizer biotech or astrazeneca, or madonna, or johnson and johnson vaccines,

you definitely need to check to see what the restrictions are. countries that you want to visit because in many cases, even full vaccination might not be recognized if it wasn't with a vaccine approved by the e. m a. me. and that's often that's kind of 19 special and so next time goodbye and check the news. the news, the news,
