about here is not only disorganized violence, it's not only terrorism. it's politics. founded over 150 years ago. it's repeatedly died out, but always been resurrected. the ku klux klan starts may 11th on d, w. d. oh must keep what gives us the strength to fight and not hatred. shift pul, shut the washer lower. it has changed completely because now it says fear. and it won't let me go where people gaila when this war against to pan started, that it actually is starts, it started on line before the physical at that with

that, what is the destructive force of war? due to human creativity, we made a ukrainian writer in exile and a palestinian syrian musician who played piano among the ruins of damascus. put 1st to a dystopian vision of the future when fiber warfare rings about an internet black out . evermore. ever faster, ever more complex, ever more vulnerable? with cyber attack this i bought this medicine as soon as he had done moves. once of the gate is for let's leash gordon. it was now created for support in all of the pennies for processes. all of the corners are

happy in all of the critical infrastructures on government services. everything is going on and that it was not created for that. but we are hooked on this network wriggling on its fragile strands. what will happen if the strands break o darkness smile for an i've come to talk with spanish science journalists as their penny, og. why described help? a curiously dependent on the internet. we have become in her book, error 4, o 4 that sees was sleeping. everything is connected to the internet and that means shots that means hospitals that mean every sort of public administration and government and services. every company. me the yeah, of course media companies. everything is connected. so the longer it last they the

grade there or, or, or the more serious air they impact will be and, and we are not prepared for that. ah, ah, yet it would take just one push to tablet all like a cyber attack. we as building the website and this mission legal matter gets done, the website move on bunk and, or maybe i know scientists, you barnum of each site doesn't from seen in the, in the machine. here it was after and cyber undivided must see former eastern bloc countries. are frequent targets of suspected russian attacks when this war against you can start there that it actually is start. it started on line before of the physical attacks. every one was wondering, was gonna happen now,

because we know that the, if the russians were able to, to, to, to casa black with of the, of the electricity in route to, in ukraine to us as an unfair thing. the internet can also be throttled by governments like early in the year and autocratic kazakstan, where it nipped in the bud oppositional uprisings by shutting down communications ah, and in india, in 20. 19. another problem is that just 5 companies now share 80 percent of internet traffic, making them all powerful. one mistake like with facebook and 20 percent of all users were offline, unreachable for hours and if he laughed annoy, configured, soon saw truth on him. also given signs with us on honeymoon wherever already many examples, it hasn't happened affect global scale, but it has happen at, at the massive scale. so equal happen at the global scale to morrow in 5 years,

in 10 years, or never. mm. our global village is dependent on the internet. it is our communication lifeline as as their penny aqua describes in her startling book and it is badly protected. more money is needed to ensure cyber security. now country is protected and thus thus huge. but the problem is we have connected everything because it's more efficient and cheap am even the german parliament was attacked. we need at nato of the internet says penny aqua elections have been meddled in u. s. infrastructure attacked wasn't sure what is done. all succulent would have been known and some was ition behind the was the west needs to act. she says we neither know lines of mockers is,

and i suggest that the use of the europe lee is that i'm there are these umbrella, although democracy will come because we also need to oppose to our thought crosses, such as china or russia because their model is not our model, we don't want censorship. we wanna free freedom and democracy values, people in the country, ukrainian writer, tanya about yatchuck left 10 years ago are fighting for her weapons or worse. but these days she struggles to find the right ones. the island of ou saddam and northern germany, a haven of peace for tenure mother, chuck apiece. she really feels since the war started to the war against her homeland ukraine for the last 10 weeks. she's been tirelessly speaking out against it. her life is in a state of emergency. you stay off in the flu. i get out in the morning as if i'm

i'm changed is it was i can no longer imagine being able to write a poem. i'm unique for, for a novel. and what about or the, i'm a middle man, laurie, but she's just been awarded that use it on literature price. the jury auditor for her miracle language and her specific perspective on europe and ukraine. additional is marie reboot, took place when russia returned to ukraine from all sides. on february, the 24th at 4 am on my hon has been broken. all my colleagues are in the wall or a helping at the front. the words failed, the acclaimed writer. she was comforted by the head of the jury. polish writer ordered to tortured the nobel prize winner who had nothing but praise for her. she's also this kind of author who is always going down into the

ah, feeling he to do into the words, into the sentences and trying to see, worked through literature as, as something which is very complicated. marya chuck's latest novel is about the power of the past called the blue whale of memory. it's about the fragility of ukrainian identity, obedience, and fear. he asked a smile. here is my main emotion in mine. everything that i've done in my life, everything i've said or written has only come to be by overcoming great fear and fun. and i would love to be as career is as many ukrainians at the moment and when were taking up arms and fighting on does if he can are published in 2019 the novel charts, the life of historian an activist via to slave lipinski, who in the early 20th century fought for ukrainian independence and failed to put

that sheds light on ukraine's resilience to day england, as during the 1st hours of the war, i thought maybe it's the same again, but there's a big difference that was immediately apparent at the thought that his arm he saw the ukrainians and no longer victim death. these are opposing, but fight info for her. ukraine is cast off its historical victim of her own friends or fighting. an entire generation is under threat month if they don't. if people don't understand that ukraine's entire cultural elite is on the front line leg that publishes the writers, musicians, artists describe elements there in the war. and if they all die on time and, and there was nobody left them lit this me, mom. now what's maria? chuck doesn't only want to think about how much is at stake. she's holding fast to

a last shred of hope. in these m l m, i don't want to live in this misery. that's why i have been myself to think about the future lincoln yet right now it's important to be in the present to i to act, to speak, to argue, to write, to cry. and so everything is possible. you see, the time is now it, every day of successful defense means the end of the russian empire. but though i did the end of the scene, petnum susan optimism against the odds in lebanon. the deadly bay root port explosion in 2020 claimed lives and caused blasting socio economic problems. many left the country, artists who remain are determined to salvage its literal identity. the massive explosion in the port nearly delta deathblow to culture in beirut. the music conservatory was heavily damaged, shrapnel piece, double bass is like ara is hardly an instrument survived unscathed. but the once

beautiful. now wounded city is rebelling against the attack on its culture. against the silence. with portraits along the road side, lest the more than 200 dead be forgotten, and with sounds thanks to a donation of 16 pianos. music is now returning to the conservatory. oh, this is so small sign of resistance against the moral decay of the country to this day. those responsible for the explosion in the port had not been brought to justice. political cronyism blocks all investigations. we usually shake it. i would say that every scholar, every musician, every politician, should fight in their own way to oppose the theocracy of them last part of which is supported here by has all us. if we more to savannah, our real mission is to defend the cultural identity of lebanon,

offend to please others, to visit lebanon is still feeling the explosions aftershocks in the worst economic crisis. in its history. the lebanese pound has lost 90 percent of its value in the last 2 years. inflation and poverty are rampant tens of thousands, a leaving the country among them many artists and academics. the n g o ability warns that lebanon's cultural heritage is in danger as the best minds turned their backs on the country. that's the night where all the sectors are losing it. they are being driven out of the company by the financial crisis. and the loss, as i said, the loss will be enormous and it available. we cannot replace it, it will take us years to replace them. not everybody is going and beirut remains the liveliest, freest city in the arab world. there's a hunger for distraction,

pleasure and culture theaters, a packed people make fun of the corrupt to lease, and continue to celebrate their freedom. ah, shirley's milan suit and no fear. so the lowest positive about what's happening is that the atmosphere, the population is changing moment. hello, there is no quality of resistance. of course, we're all heavily affected by the crisis men and what i think new art is emerging from the suffering. pat lancer, a, d, j and lebanon smoke kind. this rock singer would agree that the crisis has acted as a catalyst for art. he chose to return from voluntary exile in paris to the chaos. a favorite, a. this city will will, will forever have life. you can, you can have all of your to buy and all of your so the radio,

what you will never have the soul of the city. you'll never have to sold the city house. and i've been to paris have been to belinda, been all over europe. you don't have what we have. there's an urgency urgency if life year that dictates the way you live the way you love the way you do music the way you do anything. you do it with such an urgency because you do not know if you're going to be a left mara. he compares bay route to a drug, a habit that's impossible to kick it's highly addictive. you can go any way with all the board anywhere. this it is not working. the clock in 90 months was apartments stopped working when that last happened in bay rouge, time never stands still. in 2014, amid the devastation of the syrian war, i am off,

maud found solace in music. iconic images of him playing piano among the ruins of damascus, went around the world. ah, ah, ah sir, i am off mad music brings back memories, memories of his home, which was devastated by the syrian lower. and no, he now live safely in germany. she is conscious of the fragility of peace, or we don't can imagine such time how it will be our lives next year with food to him and quality or cry in your bucket. i says, oil prices are all done. i him off my grew up in a refugee camp for palestinians, and yar moke, near the syrian capital, damascus. he studied music and says he was happy. but then the war began.

he began playing piano in the war, torn the streets of syria and became famous around the world as the pianist and the rebel. oh, so he wanted to convey a message of hope, despite the suffering and pain in the animal. when i was using my piano at a survey at your, because we don't have electricity, we have, we don't have a need people to ride down to thought on. looks like this was, this is was at a durable but in 2015 i as so called islamic state to control of your mac and burned his piano. he had to flee, leaving his wife and children behind. it was too dangerous for them to take the balkan route towards europe together. but i am, i might have written a book about his experiences,

which has been translated into several languages. it was a year before he saw his children again, but because of his fame, the bureaucratic process was faster than it might have been for other refugees. ah, i am, i'll smite as made a new life for himself and his family. he was also able to bring his parents over to germany. he has huge empathy for others, forced to flee their homes. but he also has some resentment. let's speak about it if you geno came from okay and it's fantastic what we see from poland, how they take all those sort of fiji, they treat him. alyssa, braga, sister, about this is, was not for the scene of people in hungary where we was a cream in the distance from the window where we was passing the street to come to us to austria. but why you some time we are treating that, but they are,

or if he's you, we have a water, they have a war but is sort extremely happy for the people in all korean because they lose everything to stand with yellow. his violinist father had his own musical instrument shop and yar moke, he made the instruments himself and also taught his son to play the piano as a young boy, i come says playing with him is an honor. ah . is i with my father? i knew he uses you ah, i am asked mad is currently recording a cd which will feature different genres he's looking to the future in wants to

a wide range of backgrounds. long before the war, the internationally renowned ukrainian artist, art young follow keaton, painted stark images of violent explosions. images that are more powerful than ever as his country suffer, a sustained rush and shelling at the wheel archibald kitten, one of millions of ukrainians who fled the war. this footage was taken on the road by his children. they had to sit in a car for 5 days, often for 16 hours straight as they made their way from hock heath across ukraine. gloomily the yellow animal stole. and then when we were finally standing on the bridge to moved over, we heard the warning, sirens serrano,
