Praise for her legacy from across the political divide the search for her successor threatens to be less dignified to cross over now to Taylor Millard a correspondent for n. B. C. News radio in dallas texas tell us what is the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So Ruth Bader Ginsburgs legacy is going to be one no where actually she was respected by everyone regardless of whether they agreed with her or not if you look at the way people have responded to this whether they are republican democrat Libertarian Green Party they all have respect for her and shes a she was a pop culture phenomenon the notorious r b g she was remember shes going to have a really good legacy even if not everybody agrees with her opinions that she doled out when she was on the court and and were in an election now just over 6 weeks away until a new president does chosen by the American People who does her death benefit. That is a really interesting question because there are multiple ways you could look at it from 5 a republican standpoint it could be galvanizing because obviously she was the head of the liberal wing so you could look at it as evangelical christians are going to come out and vote on in mass for President Donald Trump because they hope to get the roe versus wade bill got your bill decision gotten rid of a you could look at it as galvanizing for the left because they say joe biden picks somebody who is or says hes going to nominate somebody who is well respected who is well seen it could end up being a flashpoint they are more liberal more democratic socialist deciding they will go and vote for joe biden so it really remains to be seen it could benefit both money really depends on how the political candidates. Go for it. Was of course a decision that trying the womans right to have an abortion as a skit to whats going to happen next is it possible to have a new judge before a new president is sworn in its possible however the president was set in 2016 when Mitch Mcconnell said that he would not hold hearings or vote on president former president obamas choice in america garland to be on the Supreme Court mcconnell said he wasnt going to hold hearings on it he was going to wait until the next election so he would be basically going against his own words if he decided to go ahead and slam through a vote over confirmation hearings even this close it would be really hard to get a nominee through but still possible ok Taylor Millard thanks so much for that. Thousands of prodemocracy protesters are rallying in the streets of thailands capital bangkok to demand democratic reforms the student led demonstrations are calling for the Prime Ministers resignation and changes in tough laws against criticizing the monarchy organizers say tens of thousands are expected to march that would make it the biggest protest its a 2014 who are now Prime Minister prayuth china and china took Power Authority as have warned against holding demonstrations against fears because of fears that the corona virus can spread rapidly among participants. And for more on this lets bring in our correspondent florian knew she was following the story for us in bangkok florent whats the latest. Well after the students had all gathered at a University Campus in the Historic Center of bangkok they have now moved to a close by royal ground being a vast open space right in front of the grand palace and originally this this where was supposed to be off limits for the protesters but they have force they way their way in the Police Standing by were hearing conflicting signals from the authorities so apparently some trucks that were supposed to get on this big square to assemble the stage there have been blocked from entry at the same time the police half actually retreated in a way and how lets thousands of protesters onto the ground that was previously was supposed to be off limits so at the moment protest as assembling the big stage where the major speeches are supposed to start in about 3 hours time and as we have heard the protesters want to stay all night and into into sunday so it will be a long day and night here in bangkok i can imagine is there any sign though that the government is hearing their demands and are indeed getting ready to give in to them. There also well and big u. S. Signals from the authorities from the government in a speech 2 days ago the Prime Minister has said that he is hearing what the protesters are saying bad everyone basically agrees to gradually change the constitution the government has even agreed to set up a committee that is to look into what kind of gradual changes there could be. But at the same time they are very clear that all criticism of the monarchy of the palace is completely off limits and this is what the students are about to do protest against the role of the monarch here and have to wait and see how todays events and tomorrows events will unfold so there might be a major crackdown by the authorities they might stay the course of being rather lenient towards the protesters we have to wait and see.

Cut. Hijacking the news. Where i come from the news is being hijacked journalism and still has become a scripted reality show its not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. In countries like russia china Church People are told its that stuff and if you are a journalist there and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation. And i wonder is that where were headed is well. My responsibility as a journalist is to get me on the smoke and mirrors its not just about being premier for balance or being neutral its about being truthful. 20 was great golf and i were good enough. The internet has revolutionized the way becomes you music sign up to a streaming service and. Can listen to all your favorite tunes on the go wherever you are many artists have even begun playing shows in Computer Games or staging virtual concerts how is all this changing the Music Industry today on shift. Almost 300000000. 00 people stream music by our spotify each month that gives the Market Leader a detailed picture of uses listening habits today music lovers can also enjoy streaming music videos and concerts in their homes and on their mobile devices and these services are rapidly growing in popularity puter Game Developers giving a platform to artists as well and spring us rep and travis got to showcase the brand he was tracked live in fort myers a hugely popular multiplayer game. Is the big moment in hip hop fans have been waiting for you would virtual travis scott says its a multiplayer game for us to perform live in for the more than 12000000 players the largest crowd ever to attend a virtual concert like this. The gaming and Music Industries and burgeoning crossover the tracks to try to get groups in one mini games new feature cool soundtracks unique dance moves and virtual in game concerts zinah im just someone what i believe. Is streaming platforms like apple music these and spotify dominate the music market today raking in huge sums of money and only a tiny fraction of that goes to the artists on some platforms less than 1. 00 cent per stream to make a decent living they need hundreds of thousands of place for example an artist would need 80000. 00 plays on the napster streaming platform just to the u. S. National minimum wage roughly 1400. 00 u. S. Dollars 200000 players would be needed on apple music and over 300001 spotify and amazon. Can use issues make a living like that its tough but its not all black and white you know we met up with german bad you say despite the downsides there are benefits to spotify. The and us mitt have been with folk pop. For 11 years their albums feature german english and arabic lyrics and have made it into german charts at 1st they didnt want them his account spotify. 45. 00 spotify definitely exploits musicians and its you have an almost nothing 3 streams. Its not even enough for major artists to go by and be making an album is a lot of work and costs a lot to record. The song at 1st we didnt really like the idea of making your music available for free and people like to. Write. I have played over here at winning them and loyal fan base today their music is on spotify after all with success their latest single happy from the new album has already been streamed half a 1000000 times about 250000 fans listen to their chains each month to ask what users can discover your music on spotify even if you dont belong to a record label. And if your music gets streamed a lot and recommended to other people then you might feature a playlist thats what swayed their opinion from the market and. The current music is available on other streaming platforms too but 90 percent of their listeners come from spotify since signing up in 2015 hours music has been streamed about 25000000. 00 times in 78. 00 Different Countries streaming platform. Meanwhile also changing the way artists create music. And get of them as an overwhelming choice of music now if you get bored of a song you skip it i guess that the scourges artists from producing elaborate 10 minute tracks with 3 minutes solos and long intros so yeah on the people who are adapting to that. On average songs have become shorter over the years in 2000 the u. S. Top 100 singles tended to be over 4 minutes long but in 2018 the average length for just 3 and a half minutes why in part because of the 32nd rule applied by spotify and other streaming platforms it means artists only receive money if the song has been streamed half a minute or more this is changing how artists craft songs long gone are the days when songs have long winded intros for example for more on that heres chris of a blast of Berlin School of popular. Hard to get on my one hits today follow with different formula from take just to biebers love yourself the song jumps right in with lyrics from the get go. This is a diary of the listener knows exactly what the tracks about. The same time for an intro. The 1st few bars of a song are crucial they determine whether the listener sticks with it also gets to the next the vast competition for music has given many business short Attention Span and so the 1st 30 seconds. I need just 20 seconds to never listen to the whole song. Well. The Music Industry started making money from streaming services in 2510 years later screaming about phones were already making 2600000000 euros in revenue and since 2018 streaming has become the biggest source of income for the Music Industry last year it made up 56 percent of global music revenue thats why artists are under pressure to make their music Available Online play lists are also a crucial part of these major streaming platforms if an artist is featured on one it can seriously boost their streaming figures and revenue but who curator these playlist. Popular. As a consequence if i was promoted on platelets which drives up screaming figures even further. Algorithms define who makes it as an artist today. So the play lists only contain popular songs this is based on certain metrics. A song will move up a playlist the more it can stream. But there are other play lists with a structure is more important songs are added in a way that achieves the rights musical arent. Companies have begun to help artists get those songs onto played as to market them like reposed networks now owned by sound cloud musicians are now less dependent on music labels but even more so uncensored algorithms. This is something that pop professor marcus klein i criticize this. Point so fortunately these days producing music is less about creating and more about calculation because algorithms calculate how many people like what and when they listen to. The it will Music Production is becoming much more of those numbers and less about cultivating a future for society because there. d is pop music no longer a revolutionary force well despite the criticism digitalisation is providing new scope for creativity like a video sharing app picked up some artists even have a global hit song because of thick fog if their song features on one of the popular ticktock challenge are like a film thats x. With all told the wrong with the good or viral sensations. Streaming services and social media platforms represent a great new way for fans and musicians to connect especially during times of social distancing. We have a spring tour planted. With 26 or 27 concerts thought of even thought of it like all bands was cancelled. Because we just finished recording our latest album of it at the market and we were looking forward to going on tour with it. Instead to look after her as a band member staged a concert on a rooftop in cologne live streamed it for all their fans 2 unfortunately they had to build then band mates couldnt join them because of the knock down. The show most important that funds get to see bands in a live context even if its online. But i believe in can you see its all over social media rights now. Streaming is a great way for artists to stay present during lockdown james blunt recently stream to show from hamburgs elbert philharmonic hall. And artists like benny eilish the Rolling Stones and green days but in Joe Armstrong live stream performances from their own homes for the one well together at home Charity Event to on the health care workers. In addition to their Live Streaming the publish to music video made from 60 fan videos filmed at home the clip has around 50000 hits on you tube. I dont want. The i think a military only way to stay in touch with fans these days is by Live Streaming concert live. After thinking for the past gigs Available Online you know come. To will now take place in autumn this year provided not down. If not theyll just keep performing on 9. Ok so digital platforms are great for musicians to connect with fans and for fans to stream as much music as they want whenever they want but theres a catch companies are collecting vast quantities of personal data professor in the cauldron of the London School of economics explains more. The way we sat or jumped in front of our record player was unknown to the Record Companies they were blind to that now theyre not the vision of market is today is a relation which is continuous as long as you are using the product the product will be tracking new. Companies constantly analyze our music listening behavior to keep us on platforms for as long as possible platforms like french streaming site do you need users to play they should in theory as only hear music that they want to hear for the 1st we need to establish an ongoing relationship with of we have to learn what music to enjoy in a monday morning for example and its not on a friday evening. Some artists have launched exclusive Online Events like us soul singer erykah badu one of my favorite artists who created an interactive Concert Series the idea is that fans pay a fee to watch and then have a say what happens like which song will be played next streaming has made it extremely easy for us to consume music but also harder for artists to make a living so its on us to support musicians we care about for example by seeing their shots online or one day in real life.
