the china is promises. it's more rich. in europe, there's a sharp warning you wherever accepts money from, the new super power will become dependent on in china's gateway year starts july 1st on d, w ah, ah, ah ah, this is a performance of the jerusalem symphony orchestra under the direction of israeli american conductor. steven sloane, their current maestro, born in los angeles, who spent the 1980 in israel. and he's now a citizen of the world, but based right here in berlin. this performance was to mark is really independence

day back in april. and now the j. s. o is on tour, here in germany. their 1st time back to this country in 10 years as part of a year long celebration of 1700 years of jewish life in germany. and with that welcome to arts and culture. and it's a great pleasure to have steven sloan joining me right now from the concept house in berlin, where he'll perform tonight with the jerusalem symphony orchestra. welcome stephen . and tell us what's on the program tonight. really exciting program. and 1st of all too important is where the component jewish is really when eric is really non chevy. run a piece in the morning in fact, rubbing for prime minister who was really worked hard for the peace process. and somebody went into meaning caustic areas where the composer now living in building

together with before the piano concerto by beethoven, played by the legend. elizabeth gaia, followed by the amazing orchestral showcase the fire sweep from students. so a really wonderful, wonderful sort of spread of flavors and influences from the mediterranean up to sort of classical europe. this is your 1st tour stevens since the coven pandemic began. i know it's a very, very big deal for you personally. how does it feel to be on the road again, playing to live audiences. we've been in the data for over a year now and, you know, in the israel thing them open already a bit earlier. so we've been used to playing for audio. but now they're trying to hear germany and other places in the world are opening up and it's thrilling for us all about 1700 years of jewish life in germany. that's the celebration year. that is, is the reason for this tour. you've spent many years here in germany yourself. 27 of them as general music director of the book and seems to me,

but also with appearances as guest conductor, for many other orchestra's. just tell me how special is this anniversary for you? well, you know, the important and distinctive relationship between germany, israel is of course crucial and that jewish lives have been here for 1700 years. is in many ways even give him a history, amazing achievement. and it's an honor for us and the privilege for us to be able to represent israel, adams, and other people in this important to now. and i'm sure, obviously it's particularly special for the musicians just quickly. absolutely. we are. we are dedicated to bringing culture and arts, not only is all but hopefully have ambassador to the world because jerusalem is not only the capital reserve in many ways. also the capital of the world service for 3

main religion. and we've been ordered that we are able to really present ourselves at home. how much is fine now you work with a lot of young musicians and p conducting at the university. did there come to here in berlin? how easy or difficult is it to get young people excited about classical music today? and what do you try to convey to them just quickly when you don't have the technology and the internet. a lot of people are shying away from live music, but i certainly will beat them out. and we have amazing talent at the university. the action button and our conducting program, i think, is distinctive. we're working very hard to bring the next generation of musicians into the orchestra and opera market. very important work. i certainly wish you all the best for tonight for the rest of your tour and for your personal finale in bull home. thanks very much for joining me. steven sloan,

thank you. now to the visual artist, if a better end is whose work occupies the space between painting, sculpture and public, r 2 could say, often questioning the relationship between image making in the architecture or even everyday objects. well now she's based in berlin, although she's originally from bon and is the recipient of this here is bon coast price, which means that she's now working on a major show to exhibit there in 2023. the fabric is one of if a baron does favorite materials to work with born and born in 1974 back under, sees herself as a picture maker. she creates pictures from various materials. so office as i find the fabric is great for using on large surfaces. i like that you can just change a whole room completely with such a light material with a suitcase full of it all compared for an uncommon. so when is a picture

a picture? that is the central theme for the 47 year old artist plus i do abstract paintings and also still life painting ah plaza painting in a broad sense. if i said i was a sculptor, no one would think i was chiseling stones. everyone knows i can work with car tires . i can work with anything. but with painting i still have to explain it. my mother, i was like, man, i have been and has an expanded and thus contemporary ideas painting the jungle. gym can also be a painting, but at the same time it can also be in everyday object. it all depends on the context on the way a thread, and on where it's placed. ah,

it's more of a mental climbing. of course, if you put in an a playground, no one would think of it as painting. and if you put it in a gallery, no one would climb on it normally all, but this game to climb up mentally, or to understand it as a game. to look at the real jungle gym on the playground as a picture. that's the point. that's why it's weird until google, that isn't. this is tim on what looks like sculpture painting for if a baroness surface color and composition a bicycle lock or a rope or splashes of color, tangible and offering stories that go beyond the picture. can. i'm the at the car is actually a kind of stepping out of everyday life and to look at things with a different eye. again. what does something look like? what is something like? and how do i perceive it to me because i think that's very productive to leave

those familiar paths again. and again, those are the, the going on for that. so scarves and tennis rackets, hats and newspaper pages find their way into if a baron that's works. why painted depiction of an everyday object when the objects itself can become an element of the painting in a new arrangement? and so a pair stem becomes a way to modernize the classics to life kind of boon. so i can see the pair stem as a little shape as a little curve and opposition rectangle. or i can just see it as organic garbage in august and move. 2 the artist who lives in berlin, but hales from don is the winner of the 2021 bon art award. because she deals with the themes of everyday life and immersion in her work in a fascinating way. 5 5 this is a, it's actually really nice for me that i will now once again be more present in the

city, was my work, as well as through this price, that's super well and so as many unto it uses everyday objects in a similar way perhaps. but with different results, the cypriot artist takes inspiration from the great spanish architect and tony go d, and has created a slowly expanding art project, complete with some holiday lodging that revels in wild color and organic even psychedelic forms, actually named euphoria, art land. we paid a visit nearly muscle, a wheezes bursting with colorful artwork and lush. we knew nothing suggest that this dreamy spot on the mediterranean island, a cypress was once designated to be rubbish, dump, artist, and into your architect. and so many emphasis you recycle materials to euphoria. art plan, word spread and more and more people wanted to see some even skilled the want to

see this private paradigm. visitors can register for a proper viewing issue for you art land and inspired by his many travels and was incentives to see how people they are living in that homes. they launched the culture whenever i was going, guy was drinking with me and different su any is contain. so i didn't know because i like to collect different stuff. i didn't knew actually that i will use one day. but right now, yes, i use everything all most to far. he's created 3 different architectural ensemble each with a character bassoon. and yet, they all seem like a supreme version of the modern, his creations, by world famous spanish architect and 2030 a

good philosophy of him, let's say, to be more organized forms. and organics means that you can get something that already exists in the nature, because you will never find the straight line the nature or receive you receive some of his building material in 2012 for free. when cyprus was threatened with bankruptcy, many companies had to clips. instead of throwing away things like ceramic tiles, they gave them to the artist. it was the start of a project for which m so many answers. and many volunteers. many different cultural influences are visible as euphoria, ark lands the interior design that these guest rooms inspired by travels to columbia and mexico. ah, i had the idea from much to miss one. the yellow mushroom got half these holds

between and he's beautiful. that's why. now i led nature go slowly, slowly, slowly, and connect more plants from all over the world are part of the ensemble, not only different cultures, but also flora and fauna inspire and those marianne, through the after sunset you for your art land acquires a whole new mystical aura, moving stuff. finally monday, june 21st was a big day for electronic music. pioneers only says laugh. not only because he was a headliner at the annual fed mazique, which is a fixture on friends with cultural calendar for 40 years now. he was also awarded the insignia of commander to the legion of honor by president in monterey, michael himself, that's one of france's highest military honors. and so we'll leave you with joe. me says john dazzling the crowd at the palace all the best from us for now. and bye

bye, the lose people in trucks injured when trying to see the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. order families to the correct and trade people seeing extreme. getting 200 people around the world, more than 300 new people are seeking refuse.

why? because no one should have to flee the make up your own line. w. need for mines. ah. ah me, it's the worst act of violence in history against the u. s. l g b t q. community 5 years ago, a gunman killed 49 people, 53 more well honed it. again i took pulse in orlando. amanda grow only survive because she hits herself on the other victims bodies. her physical wounds took months to heal. she still has nightmare and wakes up screaming in the arms of her life. in the

news for the 1st time in 4 years, amanda returned to the site of the massacre. she was shot on the dance floor of the shooter open, fired, and was critically wounded. by 4 gunshots, her friend for son philip was murdered. that night i wish i could've done more the same you amanda, only survive to by hiding under the bodies of the victims. it took a 3 hour hostage situation and gunfight before police shot omar martinez dead. his motive so unclear to this day, shortly before the attack, he swore allegiance to the so called islamic state. i remember crying and

screaming and pleading to please, you know, no more enough is enough. then we hear a blast. that's when a fire and police came in there with the amc and paramedics and saying that, you know, who stated who they were and that were safe now. and that that they killed them, you know, were safe from them that they need us to try to get out as quick as we can. so they could get us to the hospital. i had to tell him that i can't walk. i can't really move. so i had to drag my body across the bathroom floor. jasmine, ralph amended, wife accompanies her to the memorial on the 5th anniversary of the shooting. oh, i can never, ever forgive him over god forgive,

but you can't forgive amongst you like me a practicing christian. she asked the murdered victims, what she should do through prayer ban rainbow. so that was my sign from them saying, you know, do it or do any go be any empty fire fire paramedic. go help people in this world that really need help and trying to save their lives. so hopefully something like this or anything else in the world will happen. just just to be there for me. amanda followed through and successfully under that training as an emergency medical technician. give me a sense of purpose to know that you know when i'm out there and i'm helping somebody, whatever the situation is, whether we have to do cpr or somebody was in an accident or an elderly maybe have

fallen just to know that that they that they see us and they know that we're going to take care of them. it's just, it's just gives me just a warm feeling. and science is happy that i can help somebody and need just been working with i b brenner for the past year. the shift are 12 hours long. sometimes longer they deal with an average of $8.00 to $10.00 medical emergencies per day. the tight space in the ambulance have allowed them to get to know each other well. me the the best person to talk about it with somebody who's been through if i've seen her interact with trauma patients. she's great. i see that twins,

but she's moving through it. i know this job because sometimes depending on what we go to sometimes you know, tragedies like what was happening. so it's hard because i know she's been through me. and

i show your day good. how is yours? her home gives them enough strength and a feeling of safety. she and jasmine have known each other for a long time. a year ago. they got married and now live with jasmine children. as a family you like it. as saying, if you look at 2 times and that's what i was talking about, feel it makes me feel helpless like i just wish there was something more i could do . especially in times like when we're on the beach and they start the fire work start and some expected because it's daytime or something. and she just starts running and you know, she, she's looking for some way to go to run frumber, you know, gunshot sounds, you know, because that's what it sounds like to her. and i am chasing her and i'm,

we're trying to go some more safe somewhere to so that she doesn't have to hear that and feel that way and bring it all back. you know? so like i said, flashbacks, that i get when that happens. so. but you being there it's that's, that's enough for me that, that is doing something. so i don't want you to feel like amanda into a whole family, including her parents and her brother live in tampa, an hour and a half by car, from orlando. and i know i always had a good relationship with her parents and her brother, but they have gotten closer since the shooting that night. the head all celebrated her father's birthday afterwards. amanda wanted to briefly go to the club to dance with her friend chris. she had been there only half an hour in the hall. again 911 recordings portray people waiting in panic for help to arrive. ready ready

ready ready i don't know what's the location of the emergency call for, and i need you to stay where you are. i'm going to try to cheryl in the police department, but we have multiple calls coming in. they're working the shooting out there. ok. ready ready he's still inside the shooters, inside what address call the amanda called her mother from her hiding place in a bathroom stall. the phone rang, i immediately looked at the clock. i returned the far end because my kids and so if it's late i panic. so i jumped, i answer the phone and all i got was mom. i've been shot. unlike amanda, where are you? she she said was paul some like words paul, she says orlando, i said orlando, i said amanda, where our land is parts. i don't know, mom, please call 911 i've been shot and then i got a dial tone, whom i said,

there's always been the type of person that will just give us your offer back. she's always been a very loving accepting person. i know we joke around about about her, but she truly is an awesome person. i don't see that because she's my sister just. you can just see it from her. she always wants to help people. we always make a joke that if she's got $5.00 in your pocket, she'll give you $10.00. and so how this changed her, i feel is just more of an advocate, more to help people and understanding of what happened to her and but not let her define her. i couldn't even imagine moving it was, it was rough. i get like the only one i think amana or talk to somebody about it, but for the most part, you know, we're just happy family and just happy that she is here with us to continue life, me and brandon wolf. it's

also a survivor who there's a lot that has to be done to stop things like pulse from happening. we have to have a conversation policy wise about how we treat guns in this country. it is far too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on weapons that are designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible is i before the attacks. brandon was a manager at starbucks. now he's inactive is fighting for stronger gun control laws and against anti l g b t q discrimination. what happened at pulse was not an operation. it was in an effort ability. the ingredients, the algae, anti l g b, g q, violence are ever present. they're the same ingredients that show up when a trans kid had get slammed into a locker, they're the same ingredient that exists when a black trans women has gone down on the street. when i was growing up, church wasn't a safe place for me. school was not

a safe place for me. home was not always a safe place for me. and that's true for a lot of l g b t q people. and for that reason we carve out the safe spaces like whole as sort of lifelines where we can be authentically ourselves without having to be afraid or look over our shoulder 1st. ah, oh, i amanda and brenda. no meeting for the 1st time. exactly 5 years after the massacre from all over the world, people are just coming together as a community and just kind of lending their, you know, their shoulders in their hearts. and you know, if we needed help or anything like that. and just coming,

trying to be like united. so i was, that was very lovely when they, when the world was doing a re commitment to a world where we can be ourselves unapologetically and do it in honor of the people that were stolen from ah. ready the gratefully dara t. front of out by the mashing in the past up shouldn't hide the fact that the members of the l. g. b t q. community have to live the daily threat in the same country where as the president himself has termed it, gun violence is an upper demick. oh. oh, i, i the

me the the the the, the, the the, the we don't want to see them,
