And the surrounding region now the clouds of think ill back enjoy have a lovely weekend. Every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word emerged from the. Coaches in germany to learn german and why not come with them simple online on your mobile and free shots from the d w z learning course nico speak german made it seem. Hard for me to come to most people. Its about the environment so about society its still about us on the brink spurgeon circle the next person missing. The bowling green. Welcome to our thoughts and culture of the 77th Venice Film Festival is underway bashing on despite the covert 900 pandemic and hoping to give some momentum to an industry in danger of being usurped by streaming Services Also coming up in the pipeline. The museum in potsdam welcomes its Permanent Collection of impressionist paintings including the Largest Selection like showed one a side of paris. And in our series on german artists and colonialism. Uses her work to bring forgot colonial history back to life. Of cinema is the real antidote to this pandemic those are the words of spanish director pandora and as the Venice Film Festival bravely resuscitate the festival circuit one can only hope that hes right suffice it to say the cinephiles in attendance were determined to keep the dream alive. Whether you. President Cate Blanchett spanish directing legend Pedro Almodovar theres no escaping the streets. On the 1st night back to. Find out this safely distance audience even at c. R. Cinema cinema cinema walk on before i have. Nothing but love. Cinema is alone i even really pandemic. Ceremony swinton was honored with a golden lion for high lifes work then he is the 1st of the worlds major Film Festivals to take place in person since looked down. On the 3rd day the most most back in its old swing the films are once again in the spotlight not the measures required in order to show them. And my colleague scott roxboro joins us live from the lido in venice welcome scott there you are and you know this is so crazy banister in a Global Pandemic so different from what youre used to whats it hows it going. Yeah its going surprisingly well here i mean it is odd to be here with a mouse the aftermath in the cinema to have the sort of the smell the scent of disinfectant gel everywhere you go but it actually does still feel like a real Film Festival and i think that has so much to do with the fact that everybody here the stars like Kate Blanchett like Pedro Almodovar like Tilda Swinton but also all the ordinary film fans and film reviewers here are just desperate for venice to succeed they really are desperate for the Film Industry to get going again and to get restart again and i think thats really creating a wave of optimism here and here at venice well thats great to hear now weve heard in the piece that its a very political festival this year especially the competition film so whats striking about the lineup for you this time around. Yeah its interesting because usually venice is a very big hollywood festival a lot of big oscar films start here and that hasnt happened this year because so many of those films are being held back by the studios so in their place we see a lot of more interesting european and political very political Strong Political films there was one the premier earlier this week. Which is both a sort of an its a massacre its a bosnian film and this is incredibly powerful it follows a u. N. Translator boston Woman Working for the u. N. Peacekeeping group translating between them and and the bosnians there and basically the film is about her struggle to try and desperately save her husband and her 2 sons from being swept up by this serbian military and then as we know be executed it is a very very powerful film i mean i think this will go down probably as the definitive film about the 70 to massacre it really shows how rawson about can be and how cinema can really. Be a testimony to history of very very powerful movie and i think will go far after its premiere here in venice ok scott were running shortly out of time but still early days what other highlights do you see coming up or amongst what youve seen so far. Well one of the big highlights for me was a french film called lovers a completely different not a political movie at all film the war are sort of in the style of a clutch of one just a film with a lot of sexiness a lot of danger and and crime and some incredible interiors a film film to escape into and i think thats also something that were seeing a lot of here in venice and im really looking forward to in the coming days and what will we be checking in with you about on monday because we will check in obviously early days still whats coming up next week. Yeah monday i think is one of the big holiday of this festival one night in miami its a directorial debut of oscar winning actress regina king and its set in 1964 and its a civil rights drama about a real life meeting that occurred between mohammad ali. The singer sam cooke and jim brown the. N. F. L. Football player very much and civil rights activist im really excited to see this movie its already being seen as an oscar candidate so i i think will be really excited to see it on monday thanks very much to scott lets check in with you again on monday and between now and then happy viewing and stay safe. Well it was a huge win for the city of pottstown when German Software magnate. Renovated a Historic Building to how was his Art Collection and a rich one is the museum exhibits works that range from the old masters to contemporary art and this week his long awaited impressionists join the Permanent Collection making one of the most impressive outside of france. Good morning i bought or blumenthal the impressionists are strongly associated with france but now the barbering easy and imports damn near berlin can boast its own striking flexion of impressionist paintings thanks to a permanent loan by german businessman castle plot there. Mr platinum built the museum precisely for this moment he wants to share the paintings 103 of them with the public that was always his wish and its now been accomplished so he fell in love with france as a sailor i as a nature lover because hes always been interested in bodies of water. Shifted mutism pass of how do you francis and the french impressionists i live next to the same river they wanted to be close to the river to the sea. Thats what fascinated him was another person near. Among the highlights of the plot in a collection are more than 34 mourning a paintings some of them are now on display for the 1st time. When you feel like they are learning is perhaps the painter he succeeded the most in capturing the atmosphere he said that he wanted to paint what was between him and the motif under motif it means that he really takes you in and youre invited to dive into his works. Alongside more name many other impressionists are also featured alfred sees lees paintings of snow scenes standout. The impressionists were fascinated by snow because it gave a completely different outlook to landscapes they were familiar with but i think the really interesting thing with these landscapes is this when you see them from far away you think of the color white but the closer you get you actually see that paint with so many different views of things sparkles and vibrates the circle of detail so you really need some time to discover the painting for yourself. With the platen a collection. Now on display. Looks like a needle carries in the heart of the new. French government. Started performing as a child while suffering from leukemia her family moved to europe for her lifesaving treatment and due to language barriers she started to express herself through performance in order to cope with the pain well now shes based in berlin and she says her work is about healing. Could this quiet german lake be holding secrets secrets of history mysteries but art could uncover. Things were hidden under the sand and makes the nature speak something here needs to happen a process or ritual of remembrance or saying goodbye or pass it has to happen artist. Or felt that here for a town outside berlin with nazi bunker towers between houses like this one collapsed. Abandoned soviet barracks testify to the cold war. But it was a deeper layer of history that shocked her most a story nearly unknown and seldom told from the 1st world war people died in the camp because of hunger because of pneumonia germany already believe that people of color when not human during world war one prisoners from french and british colonies were kept here soldiers from africa and asia it was here that germany built its very 1st mosque meant to show what it was taking care of the mostly muslim prisoners there were not actually praying inside of the mosque it was too small for the amount of soldiers that were here which was up to 9 fall zones but actually the soldiers were praying on the fields on the outskirts with guns on the head. A century later found a space is now a camp for asylum seekers. Where the mosque stood it is now a parking lot. Only a tiny marker testifies to its existence. But because it was born in. Which she feels a personal connection to this place she came here to understand her own history. I found out so few years ago that my great grandfather. In a german court on your count in north get on which used to be soft. The family has never buried his buds. Near the camp are the graves of inmates indian soldiers of the British Empire who died while prisoners here. Wonders where the other bodies lying. There is not a trace of african soldiers here that are buried. She believes there are traces in this nearby lake. I wanted to come here and think about an underground museum or archaeology of water. Or performance in arcadia how soldiers become mates together with artist and. Is about remembering and mythologizing those who died. And thank you in a group of you to only hear the closest voices of the left even need incentives they have found a way i can talk you know every language i can help you to do that and which is to come back here was a way to bury those voices that were raised and those soldiers that were murderers and make a sort of. Yes act of healing and of burial in this water. The work also uses original audio recordings from the colonial prison camp. Believes that some contain the voices of female prisoners whose stories she says historians have ignored. I dont think that history disappears i think that its not to take power but we have forgotten how to listen. She says its up to the descendants of colonial victims to hear their ancestors story and bring them back to the surface. Kolker and thats all for this week so until next time thanks so much for watching and all the best.

News live from berlin mate so one sponsors from moscow of the poisoning of Opposition Leader alex a nobody germany says it has proof of all the was dosed with a deadly nerve agent the kremlin denies involvement tell natos calls for an International Investigation also coming up german prosecutors up occurring to charge a mother with murdering 5 of her children investigators believe she 1st sedated and then some. Complaining is ramping up ahead of the u. S. Election democratic nominee joe biden is poised to slam President Trump over his counting of the coronavirus but can he keep hold of a slim lead in the polls. Im glad i was welcome to the program nato has called on moscow to cooperate fully in an investigation into the poisoning of russian dissident Alexei Navalny the alliance had held a special meeting to discuss the case of on the scene here investigating corruption in siberia shortly before he fell ill is in a coma in a hospital here in Berlin Germany says it has evidence he was poisoned poisoned with nerve agent that dates from the soviet era. The nato secretary general the n. Started a cold case a serious breach of International Law that demands an International Response nato allies agree that russia now has serious questions it must answer the russian government must fully cooperate with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons an impartial International Investigation those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice thought we are joined by our nato correspondent teri schultz in brussels terry you followed that special meeting of nato allies in the poisoning of kremlin critic now bonnie what is their main response to russia. Well dear heart nato isnt saying at this very early stage that russian officials or the russian government is definitely responsible for the poisoning of Alexei Navalny what they are saying is that this soviet and then russian government is responsible for any stocks of nova took the nerve agent used to poison of ali and that therefore it must come clean on where those nerve agents are being stored what you know who might have access to them and that it needs to you know participate in an International Investigation that you know if russia wants to say its not responsible it needs to help find out who is terry you have the opportunity to ask you. First question offer a statement what did you ask him well on my twitter feed your how to get a lot of comments about why is nato involved in this at all lexing of all he is a russian citizen it took place in russia nato should just stay out of this so i asked secretary general stolzenberg why nato feels that it has anything to say about this case at all because this is a violation of International Law on the International Norms its the use of chemical of use of a overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating probation over any use over chemical weapons and the matters for when we see that the legal position will titian in russia is attacked. Is tried to theres not this nation of time talking against him of course it matters for everyone that believes in the rule of law the mocker see individual liberty as we do in nato. And start not speaking to him terry the kremlin has denied any culpability and in that case what are the next steps that nato will take. Well again its just a few days after germany concluded that the poison used on election of all me was no but chuck which of course is dating back to the to the soviet union so whats nato and the European Union as well want to happen is that an International Investigation tape place most likely under the auspices of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons to which russia belongs and at which russia has agreed this is a banned chemical weapon so an investigation needs to take place before any further steps can be taken back in 2018 when it was determined that 2 russian nationals had used an over check against former russian spy sergei scuffle on his daughter and 2 other people then nato expelled Russian Diplomats as a consequence and many other countries did as well so were not there yet but that clearly stands as a precedent to what might happen if this can be traced back to responsibility of the russian government itself you know use names of correspondents hershels in brussels thank you terry as a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world right now a group of chile and rescuers is continuing to search the rubble of a building in beirut after tekton possible signs of life does day the group said theyll make no statement on the likelihood of finding survivors until then have definite evidence the building was destroyed by huge blast sports one month ago today. The exiled delusion Opposition Leader svetlana. Called on the un to look into Human Rights Violations of the disputed elections in bellews during dress to the Un Security Council via video link she described the pollution leader president lukashenko morally bankrupt and said his position was untenable. More details are emerging over the deaths of 5 Young Children in the german city of. The Police Investigating the case told journalists they believed the childrens 27 year old mother 1st sedated and then suffocated police have issued a warrant for arrest according to investigators the woman was in an overwhelmed emotional state the mother of 6 attempted to take her own life at a Railway Station after the childrens eldest son survived hes now being cared for by relatives. For that story lets cross over to our reporter whos standing by in on the scene of the crime alina police give the press conference a little while ago what did they say. For the 1st time they told us about possibly motive of the crime and they told us that the alleged perpetrator the 27 year old woman was probably emotionally overwhelmed because her exhusband had ended their relationship one year ago and she was at home all alone with her 6 children and another thing they talked about is the story off 11 year old musto her oldest son and the only one who survived and they told us that went to school in the morning and then the mother called the school to tell him to come home and said that something terrible had happened and they met at the train station and then took the train together to visit the grandmother of the children but she got off the train early and let must continue his travels all alone and we know that she then threw herself in front of the train at this sort off main station so incredibly tragic story that people in the tunnels in reacting to that story. Well the whole town of sorting on this very shocked i went to the Apartment Building where everything happened and talk to the neighbors and so many. People came there and put down cover toys and candles and even though they didnt know the family they told me that. They were ever very emotionally involved and i talked to one neighbor and she told me that her children always play together with the children of the women at the playground of the building and she as well of us were very shocked from the whole story and i think the whole city of seoul is still under shock. And thankfully no. If you are suffering from serious emotional strain also sidle thoughts waits to seek professional help so you can find information on where to find support no matter where you live in the world be friend. With less than 8 weeks to go to the u. S. President ial election both donald trump and his rival joe biden are ramping up their campaigns the latest polls show the race has remained relatively stable over the last few weeks with biden holding 7 Percentage Points over trump nationally now its down to the final battle for swing states and the remaining undecided voters most of whom have already made up their minds. These people were unable to get into the president s Campaign Event in pennsylvania despite queueing for hours. But it didnt dampen their enthusiasm. Or dent their belief that victory in november election will be that us. Its good to see that theres this much the court because everybody wants you to believe that hes not going to win and biden is going to take over and thats not the case trump will prevail it will be 2020 trying to make America Great again. In a nearby hangar in this volatile swing state trump is once again pushing the key theme of this campaign lul and. Biden is what it is to apiece the domestic terrorists my plan is to arrest them and prosecute them. And i will always defend law abiding citizens thats why the writers of voting for biden. Talked also to the opportunity to poke fun at biden. But did you ever see a man that likes to mask as much as or. And then he makes a speech or he always has it not always but a lot of times just it hanging down because you know what it gives him a feeling of security if i were psychiatrist. Right. The president s tone was in stark contrast to the one adopted by feiten as he visited the town of can osha in wisconsin the site of antiracism protests after shooting a black resident jake blake. Well i think weve reached Inflection Point in. Our honest to god believe we have a norman opportunity now that the screen. Curtains been pulled back and this was going to come to reason so 2 very different men and 2 very Different Campaign styles and messages. The one constant though as this clash between pro trump and biden supporters outside the venue showed is that the u. S. Is more polarized than ever that me on it and that the divisions only look set to get deeper as election day approaches you never met a woman like me. It. Says in northern china over a new education policy that replaces the mongolian language with Mandarin Chinese in schools in among all the autonomous region of borders mongolia and russia ethnic mongolians comprise comprise about 17 percent of its Residents School pupils that will now have to use new textbooks in mandarin for some subjects local government announced earlier this week but some say the move is the threats to the future of the mongolian language and culture. A rare scene in among. A protest over chinas new education policy for these ethnic mongolians languages their cultural identity something the contrary. Across the border and independent mongolia people have also taken to destry to show support. Is the last region in the world which keeps using the traditional mongolian scripts.

Under the new policy schools in the chinese autonomous region brew gradually replaced the teaching of course subjects from mongolian to man dream many fear that the Younger Generation would gradually lose fluency in their monitor kids are. Proud of our brothers who are very few but fighting hard against a 1000000000. He knew that that is why we have to send them our love and support. Im afraid that they might get endangered. Thats why were here to not let it happen. China says the concerns are unfounded to parliament who are with the constitution of the peoples republic of china a law on regional autonomy of ethnic minorities and the education law or stipulate that citizens have the right and obligation to learn and used in the National Language means we guarantee the freedom of all ethnic groups including mongolian to use and develop the languages of ownership knowledge teesside and an assurance that could be a hot sell for a minority determined to protect its cultural traditions.

Earlier we spoke to Energy Economist claudia can 1st who gave us her take on whether north stream 2 could be consuls and whether western countries could impose more sanctions on russia over the case of Alexei Navalny well its becoming more and more likely that the pipeline might be completely stopped for the last few metres we have to say 1st the americans did Everything Possible to stop the pipeline construction and now the serious geopolitical crowds calling calling also for sanctions against russia we see germany will probably have but little interests and stopping the pipeline now because it could also harm the German Companies so to me its more likely that sanctions might be imposed but the discussion about stopping the construction of right now is good good and right.
