this is crazy to, to, to go over mentioned home the for time, followed him. and that because mr. fanny, that the last dragon had called the home he, w books i you're watching the news asia coming up today. what's happening in quebec, 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 zation. that's what the b 5 data ministration would like to see the news. i melissa chance,
6:31 pm
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 in hong kong to the mass detention other 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 or wealth. double speak to bent, nicknamed the roof of the world for its rugged peaks and home to the spectacular pa til 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
6:32 pm
tibet. it is broadening its political education campaign. what when this monk is asked who his spiritual leader is, he clearly names he's in the chinese president changing pain. i wish it wasn't your team. 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 chosen to go to the cottages. i've chosen hello to, 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
6:33 pm
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. now 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 that she is basing 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. i think it's
6:34 pm
a whole time who is going to win the memories that they can read it to the children about being a faces society or more side. for the chinese came all new to me. whatever tibetans choose to believe it will surely be closely monitored by the watchful gaze of the chinese state. joining us as car mueller of the international campaign for tibet. chi, 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 you take language as one important vehicle,
6:35 pm
an instrument to transport or to, to further develop culture and the chinese government's onslaught on the use of tibetan language. this is clearly one example for the better here into bad about cultural identity, about the cultural d n a off the tibetan people itself, and they are quite a few and tibetans who in their local communities tried to protect in that case to bad 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 till after more than a decade ago, actually in late 2008. and i remember at the time the chinese government curtailing
6:36 pm
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 forecast by monks who then were detained so that the climate under choosing pin in particular and and then our party secretary went go who moved on then to the change young area as we know has as really worse and leaving less and less space for to baton communities. let alone for protest or dissenting views of tibetans. now you mentioned shane jones. we
6:37 pm
know that there are detention camps there is that's also happening in tibet. well, it is, it is somewhat a similar situation, but not, not quite. so if one compared to bad into junk, there's certainly a different narrative applied to change young with regard to extremism which we got to so called anti terror measures, which we do not see in the on netscape, into bad, into bad. it's rather the, the narrative of anti poverty or anti poverty measures, poverty alleviation 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 kids that have been report indeed about the course of labor programs. which, which insinuates all which implied that there has been a considerable,
6:38 pm
considerable sort of repression via the rural rural population into bad. and that those tibetans do not have a choice but to, to, to participate in those programs which approved them would approve them from their cultural environment. and from actually from the families to be send on to factories. time miller, thank you so much for joining us. the life anytime, anywhere and without pre conditions. that's washington's latest offer to pyongyang and opening a dialogue over its nuclear program. the bided administration's new envoy for north korea was insole on monday to push forward efforts to restart the stall diplomacy, the u. s. south korea and japan are looking for ways to convince pyongyang to stop
6:39 pm
developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. washington has promised a quote calibrated practical approach. last week leader kim jong 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 boy, earlier today will be prepared for either because we are still waiting to hear back from our proposal for the meeting. and hopefully coming to dialogue indicates that a positive response. 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 grand tokyo's. obviously
6:40 pm
focusing on the dialogue part of the expression that's received much attention last week when comes on when is reported to us 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's comes on and south has signal it's 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 pilling young's lack of interest or eagerness? lack of eagerness related to kim jones on already having had photo ops with america already a formerly with
6:41 pm
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's north cras thinking at the moment. in fact, in may 18 this year, we're seeing a statement from north korea, us, vice foreign minister chase on here in which they said exactly about north korea wouldn't be giving away opportunity is like singapore and some noise anymore. unless there's a change in us policy and, and sulfide p as does what north korea has seen, sulfide is not most efficient for north korea to really come out and to 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 salmon decade of the 1990s. how much is this
6:42 pm
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 certainly is a very serious situation. and factoring last week's meetings, planner meetings and north korea, kim john has reported to us, put a lot of focus on the dial. 4 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 coven 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
6:43 pm

6:46 pm
a given in symbolic hyper inflation and the corona virus. pandemic have let the authoritarian government to take even more repressive action against its own people . when city dunker rambo demonstrated for political reform last year, she was arrested. the $1659.00 does exist and it does come to the right to demonstrate tend to petition peacefully. but it seems to be very difficult to do that practically because you run the risk of being rest of that. if you do the, the author to pick the social and moral conflicts in her homeland, through films as well as books. she's a student at the german film and television academy in berlin. she also frequently visits, film festivals, and looks for new partners for her projects. her book this morning, full body was short, listed for the men booker prize in 2020 and city duncan rambo continues to write,
6:47 pm
taking a stance against a corrupt regimes that oppresses its people, especially women, and in favor of political and economic progress in public. the will in 2019 the peace prize of the german book trade went to social documentary photographers, sebastian delgado, whose books are literally visual masterpieces. the brazilian described his art as writing with light, and now he's added to his already considerable legacy with his newest book, a powerful tribute to the amazon rain forest and its indigenous inhabitants. the faces and landscapes that make a lasting impression the amazon prime or mysterious treasure of the planet, or the best, the else god has spent much of his life exploring it again. and again,
6:48 pm
he spent months living in the settlements of indigenous peoples, allowing himself to be touched by their lives. they gave me a home in their village. i went hunting with them. i felt very comfortable their last day. in his book, amazonia, salgado shows that he's not just a great photographer, but also a humanitarian. great patients and dedication to learning about the vast jungle and it's people like this yellow mommy, village, personal god who list for weeks witnessing the residence, joys and sorrows, the village chief was worried about the encroaching danger of so called civilization. now he's been immortalized in the book. it is for women to prosper and to really indigenous people live very closely with nature rooms to be city. people moved away from us in the washing. we've become something like aliens on
6:49 pm
earth. it's important to go back to the indigenous people. they also remind us that we are just one species on earth, among billions, media is to stopping the destruction of the amazon rain forest. the merciless deforestation is what drives tell god and she's created a foundation that has already planted 2 and a half 1000000 trees on his parents farm. it's a miracle the way nature can recover. for that reason has perhaps last great work is meant to be a reminder to preserve the amazon rain forest for future generations. you know, but as you worship, cooper today, the brazilian govern. it is in the process of massively destroying the amazon. that's why it's so important to me. bread knowledge is not the amazon with this. so this is our only chance to say that you got to sort of the whole world pressures when brazil s. i say that, but it's so me the pro nathan deal. so google,
6:50 pm
amazon is an impressive legacy. it's a great activists and photographer, sebastian delgado, or from the amazon rain forest to the mixed forests of northern europe and beyond which according to full clar, are of course full of mythical creatures like elves, fairies and trolls. while the latter are usually considered nasty, even dangerous, and their hearts spots, but thanks to danish artists, thomas dumble as a growing tribe of ups cycle trolls that have a message of hope y'all can snake austin is hiding in the forest while thank a storm is watching over a clearing and lung i live is enjoying the beach. these mystical giant trolls live in denmark. what is going on? and how did they get here? i think like anybody else, my age i grew up on fairytales and folklore stories. so i think that's also why i
6:51 pm
like to tell them know, and for me told they don't need to be like evil. they can also be good. in my favorite tell trolls they protect us of nature right now thomas dembo and his team of fallen ts have only got eyes to this trunk. so this one here is called even a vol and it's like the little old, but very intelligent. troll van is one of 10 trolls taking cover in the countryside . the story is a well known danish fairy tale from a son to finish the sculpture in 10 days at 4 metres in height. yvonne is one of the smaller troth. some of the trolls sculptures can reach up to 800 meters high. i like them to play with scale and make us feel small compared to them because we are really small compared to the nature of choosing the right materials is an important part of the process. this one here is made from the poll that i found just around
6:52 pm
the corner here, and it's from the local fisherman. they used them to tie the fishing that's on it because we are in the harbor. this one is description stone, which is actually made from the same wood that comes from those rolling wagons that got a whole bunch of in the workshop. aside from males and flu, thomas only use it. god, it would. he collect some carry on it in his studio and copenhagen. this wooden furniture used to belong to a shop or to shut down. i think that project, such as my art can maybe help alter people's perspective on trash from being something was those to something with value. thomas make sketches of his ideas in the heads and other details. so then put together in his studio, all the other parts that created out in the open. i'll give it like some kind of
