a well documented fact that there's been a sickness there was a significant spike in vermont mean by, in the apple. it's from the quotes as well as from the government to remove onto the front window between 20142022 done by others to be able to draw spread unsuitable. and as far as the specific acquisition of problems to dorsey around the bomb as booked as a government, that actually aust, i'm on nearly $1200.00 accounts to be blocked. you know, what? i think asians of them being sympathetic to the protest dot movement, which is those big separatist movement in india. and before that, the platform was also after big dogs. the data comes on now initially did comply with this request, but at some point they decided not to and then the unblocked some of the accounts which we initially block. and subsequently we saw the documents and all the offices are off. but where does the daily and go down right now?

no, good. and then you july, the last 2 to with this being in government actually over what is really just was disapproved. the use of i was by deal uh, what do these allegations and everything that you have said right now. say about this government's approach to free speech in a democracy as well. in the last few years, they had been growing concerns about the speech and press freedom in india and digital space, particularly as now because the new battle ground between use is what align with the government versus those? well, polls are given independent voices, particularly journalist, and we have seen allegations of trolling faxed, this information, this information i even use the spying back to dr. john. that's why the government is that social conflict winter has not done enough to control this information. he'd stop these be quiet when it comes to allegations about the routing buck is on

. you know, i do sell the information technology is that which many allege is the fountain head for many and his information and told him to tap into the country. and we'll have to leave it the timing, but thanks so much for joining us today. canada more than the from the committee to protect lists. thank you so much. thank you. south korea, i send a briefing and happy anniversary. escape of supergroup beats. yes. tons. 10 festivities for the boy band into the fireworks dining so landmarks the band signature color purple, and even a special posted stamp to mark the occasion. meteor suck. i don't see you on hire. to assess some members of their ministry duties. but that ami a fans are very much out in force. souls landmarks lift purple to celebrate the decade of south korea's most successful musical act. the b t. s is

more than just the boy band. its role in driving the explosion of global interest in korean culture has made it a source of national pride cartoon that, i mean, you don't, i'm so proud to be a citizen of the same country as be to use. now anywhere i go when i say i'm from korea, people always welcome me. so i'm very proud of them and happy the little tough. so, but just send me that with fans all over the world. the 7 member band is credited for surgeon popularity of cape pop. before going on a hiatus in 2022 b t. s broke ground, bringing tape up to the main stream, topping u. s. and u. k. charts, selling at a reno's around the world. and even boosting tourism the for the anniversary dance travel from all over the globe. when we planned

our trip to korea, we kind of find it around the 10th anniversary and we're hoping to catch a little bit of everything and just to experience the culture experience of the people who, who loves because so much special edition series of stems and bts as honor saw fans and collectors line up at post offices. so even with the band taking a break, bts frenzy is in full swing. and the, joining me not from sir on is john list and documentary filmmaker, heavy and con. she's reported extensively on cape pump, and it's styles this tongue time. yes o b t s. how big of a d e is this and career you test or not just past scores in south korea. there's something like national kira, it's know people adore them,

and revere them for having promoted crew. brienne music internationally and, and being successful in the us market. and so, you know, if you can imagine there's a visible sense of excitement and just the architectures that the buildings in sole, where very prominent buildings like the sol city government, sol, power the world cut, bridge, their lit and purple to commemorate this event. and this saturday there's a huge party of fireworks and screenings in a beach f member r m appearing at the 100 river. you've covered the cable for quite some time in your assessment. what is the impact that bts has had on the genre of music? or i think there is a variety of influences they, they've had, i'm sure they're use like which has been immensely popular. the way they engage with fans built their world of music and marketing and so on and so forth. have had a huge influence is on artist worldwide,

but i think specifically on k pop and the influence they've had on this this brand of music is that they've normalized representation of artists from regions that were called thought to be marginal, especially in the european and american market and the american market is especially thought of as the sort of holy grail in the music market because we have it how it holds such power globally. if you think about the year before, bts be viewed and in 2012 size con, i'm style had just become viral on youtube with that same as horse dance, which everyone probably can remember. and that was the time when k pop and music from korea was just beginning in, in little league. and i'm and free, you know, rare occurrences beginning to be very successful, internationally in and by internationally. again, i think the us market and so beat us with significant because they were the 1st to

have had consistent success in the us market where a year after year, the top billboard charts and have continued presence in mainstream media in the us . now. so this thing is a country serving in the ministry, implying the details, as we know it isn't really a group at the moment, but is this just temporarily? are they going to get back together so to speak out of this mandatory services over so just to give a very brief context about the south korea's technical state of war with north korea, every able bodied south korea man is expected to serve around roughly 2 years of mandatory military service and this is no exception for b t. s. members. and starting at the end of last year to members of bts have already joined the military, gen and j hope. and the rest of the members are likely to start military service around 2023. but there are other uncertainties besides military service. because

even before the member started going into the military service, last year around summer beach has numbers announced that they will put group activities on hold for reasons that they weren't. they didn't elaborate into. but, you know, they implied the, the constant stream of activities head straight on their, their, their self as individuals. and there's other uncertainties like their contract renewal with hyde agency. their company is going to be in 2025, but it's unclear which way that will go. but at least from the company's perspective, will this be temporary, likely. so, and the agency says that the ts will reform again around 2025. i just wanted to ask you a broad spectrum question about cape up and why it appeals to so many audiences across so many geographies and cultures. yeah, i mean, this is

a question that's interesting and also a tricky because i'm always careful to differentiate between why bts is popular around the world and why a pop is popular around the world. the latter, i think it's a much more complicated and broad question because k pop has so many different varieties of personalities and music. and i think in bts is case in, you know, fans constantly refer to music how the music hit them and how their stories resonated and their growth resonated with the growth of the fans. and i think in a lot of different ways, different k pop groups must appeal to fans through their songs and through their stories. and i and i think also, you know, this is my hypothesis, but i think because of the way the world has been changing, and especially in the us market, consumers are so much more open about receiving different cultures and, and artist from regions other than their own so this opened rather than the change

in the way people perceive diversity need have made people more receptive to keep pop around the world. really, very well. thank you so much for joining us for the very interesting context area and from sarah. thank you so much. thank you. and that does have such a bed as low on our website and as ever you can follow us on facebook and the trip to have it back tomorrow at the same time. to see you then by the ego in the sand. a crucial resource for the construction industry, but also for the environment for years and the legal standard mafia read on the moon or river endangering delays, main source of drinking water. is there
